hi, Frank Barknecht: > How about making $0 in messages be a message counter? if somebody really needs that - i dont ;)
ok, i give up. i think we are on a rather philosophical point now. but i had a lot of times when students where asking why they have to write [f $0]-[foobar $1( instead of [foobar $0(. so this came up from a users point of view. after getting all your input (thanks). i think Claude brought up the most logical solution, because this makes the different functions of $ obvious and obsolete. And it would help users and devs. (i know it will be a long way - cause it will break some patches ... :( ) > $ in message boxes is unfortunate. If there was a different symbol, > perhaps #, you could combine both phases in one object box to avoid > jumping through pointless hoops. > [$0-#1-$2-#3( would be nice, but as Pd is now, it's a nightmare. not a nightmare, but this is one point why Pd is harder to learn for beginners than it has to. georg _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
