I just remembered a feature* one could have in the future (it relates to various threads and interesting discussions we had here):
- When rolling the mouse over a outlet of an abstraction it could tell what that was. (useful for those crazy objects with n-th outs) How could he tell what that outlet carries? This could be a sort of metadata comment (or other better/clever idea) added to the subpatch/abstraction that would be parsed and read by the GUI in order to simplify your work. Like "Metadata/Outlets: sound(mono); data(0.0-1.0); toogle(0-1); on-off(bang);" Then in our main patch: __________________ |my_giant_abstraction| | *_ *_ _ _ ___________| When rolling through outlet "1" it would say "Sound(mono)"., and so forth Conversely, one could do the same for inputs/inlets. Just a though after many hours of pd, Best regards, Pedro * maybe this has been though/brought up here, its worth the try. p.s.: anyway I'll take note of this, maybe I could try a simple version of it sometime... -- Pedro Lopes (ongoing MSc) contact: pedro.lo...@ist.utl.pt website: http://web.ist.utl.pt/Pedro.Lopes
