Hi list,
on Pd 0.48.1 packaged for Debian testing the window title bar of a patch shows *edit* inbetween the patch filename and its path even when the file has just gotten saved. Is this intentional? What is the meaning of this message?
thanks! Peter

Thank you for this hint!
Here are two euro cents to whomever cares: Perhaps it should read *edit mode* to better comply with the principle of least astonisment.

even better: something like |edit mode| because * is often used to signify unsaved changes. Personally, *edit* confuses the hell out of me and I often have to look twice :-D

Yep, I'm regretting the "*" character - at the very least I want to put it in brackets of sone sort.
