Hi all,
Dumb question that continues to fox me and that has been covered before... what determines the canvases that open when one starts up a patch? I have a top level canvas that should open two abstraction canvases; I can't seem to get this to happen.
Cheers
Nick

Why should save the parent canvas with the subcanvas open or send a "vis 1" message to the subcanvas.
If you have [pd my-subcanvas]
[loadbang] ---> [; / [pd-my-subcanvas vis 1\
In my experience PD can be quite boring regarding these things. Sometimes PD seems able to redraw correctly a subpatch only at the second run. Really, it is funny but it almost deterministic.

Hi, thanks but that only seems to work for subpatches, not for abstractions...
I have two abstractions:
[avat 0]
[avat 1]
which load 'avat.pd' of course, with args 0 and 1 respectively - any suggestions as to how I'd get these to open at startup?
thanks
Nick

Yes, that's right.
This is the reason why I used to put UI canvases of abstractions in sub-patches of the abstraction and open them on request. That is the abstraction gets a bang somehow (inlet or receive) and in turn opens its subpatch.
There may be other messages but that's the way I did.

Hi Nick,
There is a trick how you can do that, just put a message box containing
; pd-foo.pd vis 1
and trigger it with a loadbang (foo.pd is the abstraction)
Greetings,

you could do some blackmagic with namecanvas to use abstractions, here's an example.
although, i'm not sure how you will be able tell the different between your abstractions, but that's for you to deal with ;)
the two buttons in testpatch.pd make the two instantiations of myabstraction visible. on my machine then appear over the top of each other so you might have to move them around to make sure they are both open.
