Hi list, Is there a way to put newlines in comments that stay there after closing and reopening a patch? I am unable to create a comment like: "first line second line third line" without it becoming: "first line second line third line" after reopening the patch. I pasted some text from elsewhere and don't want to have to break it up into 50 separate comments. thanks, Tim

Not that I know of.

Poor Tim ... :)
Maybe you can do some scripting outside of Pd to create the comment as a subpatch? Attached is a quick shell example without any escaping of special characters.

While this might be a work around, 2010 one might expect of a graphic user interface that you can tear on a bounding box and the text is floating in it. feature request?

I had that feature in jMax in 2001 and I had to leave it behind when I switched to Pd in 2003/2004. However, in jMax, the user-set width applied to everything and you can imagine the font trouble when variable-width fonts that were automatically picked and rendered in slightly different ways would take a little bit more than the user-set width of the box and then would cause the box to go double-height. So you understand that it was a relief to not have that feature anymore, but however, I would be very pleased to have it back IF it were OPTIONAL.

I wonder how much CPU is lost with this fancy max graphics. maybe not much, I don't know what technology they are using. Is it based on qt4 toolkit?

I don't understand : why into a subpatch instead of the main patch ?

Hi,
you could use semicolons at the end of ech line as workaround.
comment; line2; final line without semicolon.

Your only way is to use the semicolon, and then, you can't ever use the semicolon in any other way, because using it causes a newline to appear.
If you want to know how your comment will look like once reloaded from file, try Cut/Paste, Copy/Paste, Duplicate, or Delete/Undo.

Try using the [comment] object from cyclone. You can set its width.
