I agree. Maybe someone can check the sources and whip up an example patch? This reminds me that there is that nice set of messaging examples (ie. opening/closing a subpatch, open/closing patches, etc) that came with Pd-Extended which would be nice to now include with vanilla.

hi, dear list !

i know about the messages that can be sent TO pd, but i recently read (in the help file for [samplerate~]) that pd sends a bang to a

[receive pd-dsp-started]

object when the dsp is started. of course the same works for

[receive pd-dsp-stopped]

when it is stopped.

that's a nice feature !

are there any other useful messages that can be received by specially named receive objects ? (like mouse coordinates, mousestate, window coordinates, save state, closing state ...)

there seems to be no documentation on this one ...
