hi all,
after the flurry of downloading externals yesterday and not having the mind enough to remember what exactly was included in all of them, i was looking to see if there was an object list. however, i didn't find one. and probably the usefulness of that would be limited, just knowing the name of the object without any explanation.
now, for finding information about an object there's the help patch system. but what if you don't even remember the name of the object?
taking a look at the help documentation (the one from clicking help on the canvas), i thought it a great memory jogger to see the one liners of object names and a quick description.
i'll probably go ahead and edit my 0.INTRO.txt file to include a list of all of the external objects to jog my own memory. i was curious to ask if others are doing the same or if there is another method people are using to look up objects. also, if this is deemed a good method, would it be good practice to recommend externals writers to supply a oneliner doc for their object?
thanks, steven

i did this too for all externs i used, (wanted to post it too) but it got deleted after a series of bluescreen...
would spare time if every extern had a 0.INTRO.TXT txt file... ...and pd would somehow search these files for every installed extern and then adding the text to the help, but for starters we could "concat" the files with a 3rd party soft...
