reversely, one cannot use [trigger] too often.
so Pd should print out a warning if there is no [t] in the patch
whenever it is saved.
understand that. I just differ with how we should deal with the
problem. I think it should be handled in the documentation rather
than
making the programming part more complicated.
seriously, i don't see so many drawbacks with [initbang].
the biggest issue right now, is that there is no [initbang] in Pd-
vanilla.
this makes patches using [initbang] incompatible with Pd-vanilla.
once it was included, this issue would become nought.
I could see the initbang help path having a section called "When to
NOT
use initbang" then it would include your example below with the
example
of how to use it.
hmm, i guess some words are missing here, as i don't understand why we
would include an example of how to use it in the "when to NOT use it"
section.
anyhow, in most cases [initbang] can be used as a replacement for
[loadbang].
the only difference is, that [initbang] will not make it to the
outside
of the patch using [outlet]s.
so you cannot use [initbang] to initialize the parent patch.
darn, bad naming again.
probably [createbang] would be better (esp. if [closebang] is
renamed to
[destroybang])
or use [constructorbang] and [destructorbang]
[createbang] and [destroybang] is a nice pair. :)
.hc
anyhow, whatever the name of the object (even [loadbang really-
early]),
th changes to the c-sources will be very similar.
The initbang help patch is in a pretty sorry state
right now... its in SVN doc/pddp if anyone wants to take it on.
probably we should wait whether this evolves before documenting things
to be abandoned.
