Hi all,
Whatever happened to the feature that let one edit message boxes as if with a text editor? I think I used to hit ctl+t in a message box and got a text editor-like window where you could move up and down rows and not only forward or backward one character at a time as with regular messages. Quite useful and haven't found it in a while. do i have the wrong command? or was this feature abandoned? (or never released?)
best,
J
I can't remember when that disappeared - years ago.
Anyhow, the up and down arrows should do something more intelligent in messagee boxes than they do at present...
cheers M

On this, is there a good way to adjust say for example file names in message box without using multiple message boxes or manually editing the message box file name/ path every time you want a new file name?
For example:
[sample1.wav( | [writesf~]

i'm not sure i understand your question (apart from your patch which
is obviously *not* working at all).
what's wrong with the following:
[symbol foo.wav( | [set open $1, bang( | [open bar.wav( | [writesf~]

i think it was lost during the gui-rewrite.
(the argument being, that this feature was mainly useful for
Copy-Paste which - snce the rewrite - works within msg-boxes)

Thanks IOhannes,
Oops I forgot the "open" in the message box. Nice solution however we would still have to either have multiple hand written message boxes or manually edit a message box. Your patch would probably help accidentally overwriting files though.

how about:
[0
|
[makefilename take_%03d.wav]
|
[open $1, start(
|
[writesf~]
or, instead of just the numberbox, I like to use [time], [date], [l2s] and [makefilename take_%s.wav] that way you can be quite sure you'll have a unique filename each time.

not really… you could open edit and close and you could do arrows up and down which you cannot do in message boxes. no need to copy in and out of pd which is more convenient.
miller's suggestion of up&down keys working in msg boxes would solve it.

i was mainly referring to the point made then. it was not me who brought up this argument against the text-editor, nor was i ever opposed to having/keeping the text editor.
iirc, back [1] then nobody made a convincing argument in favour of the editor (at least an argument that convinced those who wanted to remove it). and it took 5 years to raise the issue again, so it probably was not *that* important :-)

oh, yes. editing text within Pd should give you the feeling of a "real" editor. iirc, there are more issues than just up/down keys (but since it's not really hard to work even with this nuisances, i tend to quickly forget them; that doesn't mean that they are no nuisances and shan't be fixed).
ideally no code would need to be added to Pd(-core) to "emulate" such an editor (instead i'd love to have some real standard editor widget used)

Miller et al,
You may want to search pd-l2ork source. Pd-l2ork has a fairly comprehensive support for ctrl+arrows, home, end as well as up/down arrows by themselves.
