Hi there, I am wondering whether there's any way of deleting objects with dynamic patching when the gui is disabled? I attempted the usual vis/editmode/mouse/mouseup/cut combo, but I get "consistency check: editor" error (also, related, a bug https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/2821 ), so it seems that it won't work without a GUI. Is there any other way of deleting object with dynamic patching without a GUI? Perhaps an easy way of deleting by object number instead of having to simulate mouse action? I also skimmed through iemguts without finding a solution, but I may have overlooked it?
Best, Giulio

sure: use iemguts' [canvasdelete] (loading the object also adds a "delete" message to the canvas that allows you to delete objects by their index; see the helppatch)
seriously: iemguts is exactly for this kind of problems, because they are not solveable in vanilla Pd.
