Hi!
I'm going to writing some ideas on intelligent patching, just to bring some
discussion
1. It IS a dream come true!
2. Prior to pd 0.49 if you have some objects selected and then select a
connection, the objects are automatically deselected. Now if you have objects
selected and you click a connection the connection is added to the selection.
In PD (and usually in general) when you want to add to a selection you need to
hold shift. Maybe it's a good idea to have to shift+click a connection to add
it to the selection.
Right now i keep accidentally deleting objects because i'm used to the
shift+select stuff in programs so i forget now a simple click in a connection
will keep what was already selected. But nothing to worry about
because now i can just ctrl+z my way back! :)
3. An enchancement idea for the fan out. Currently the fan out (when you
select multiple destination objects and connect a single object to one of them)
the connections are made according to the creation order of the objects (that
becomes evident when you triggerize). Maybe PD could do it in right-to-left
order.
4. While he have a fan-in from multiple-to-one i imagine a one-to-one fan in
also being handy :)
(example: connect all the outlets of a [route A B C D E F G] to a
[list]'s inlet. )
5. When using the "triggerize" the [t] objects appears with some offset to
the left of the object being "triggerized".
For what i've seen in the code the [t] object is created by reading
obj->te_xpix; and obj->te_ypix;
Maybe this is an issue with positions reported by the windows manager?
I've measured and the [t] object is created 10 pixels to the left. The
window border is just 7 pixels but Win7 does apply some shadows around the
window
that might account for that 3 pixels difference. But it's just an
guess.
Cheers
Henri.
