Pd 0.41
But I'm using Pure Dyne Carrot and Coriander which means it's got Gridflow installed by default
I'm just curious - but also if you could change comments then it means you could make help files to give you information about installing etc the required externals. Then the helpfile would only come up correctly if the whole abstraction was working.
I'm interested in this - Metastudio uses a lot of externals...
Ed Metastudio 4 for Pure Data - coming soon!!

This doesn't work in any of my Pd versions, and I have Pd 0.43test2. Which version are you using?

I think that it wouldn't be hard to have comments support the same self-modification methods that messageboxes do, but I also think that there is no real incentive yet.
I don't see why you'd absolutely need your auto-generated installation info to be put in a self-modified comment. Isn't that a detail ? Am I missing something in your request (such as something to do with GOP) ?

Please define what you would consider an incentive (as opposed to what you call a detail). I bet I'll be able to come up with at least five.

Well, first come with at least five things you'd like to do with comments modifiable like the messageboxes are, and we'll talk about that.

Five Things I'd do with Modifiable Comments:
- Print the current Pd and Tcl version in a patch. If I use
pddp/print then it's not cuttable/pastable, if I use msg box it makes it look like clicking it does something, and if I use [entry] it will be buggy, because [entry] is buggy.
Dynamic multi-line text in a gop subpatch.
Interactive comments that follow user action for a tutorial.
You can currently do this with dynamic patching but eventually you run out of space or have to do a GOP canvas and keep clearing it. (Again you could use a msg box but the border and visible xlets are distracting.)
- Not have to rely on [cnv] labels-- which look different on
different platforms like with [output~]-- for dynamic GUI labels. (Comments look different too, but not by such a large margin.)
- Dynamic ascii art without the distraction of the msg box
border.
There's also the separate matter of having the choice of font size/style, which can make a patch more readable. (I use cyclone/comment for the terms in the Pd glossary for that reason.)
