The only problem I see with it is a contrast with other programming & development environments. If you create a problem in your code, you shouldn't be able to crash the development environment. You halt the process, make changes, and re-compile. And Pd patching is different from this. I'd say it warrants some consideration whether there is a means to allow Pd to make errors without crashing or becoming unresponsive. > > Mike > > > _______________________________________________ > PD-list@iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > > _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
