Annoying for me, even if i'm interested in the software. But that's
just me. For those who find it useful, this could be developed into
something that can really be started up when pd starts - sounds like
a plugin? :op One way is to rewrite it as a plugin, another is to
make a plugin which loads the patch at startup. Either way i'd be
happy to help you.
Btw, it doesn't have to be a gui plugin, it can also be a regular -
lib that doesn't contain any externals, but instead, just a single
call to canvas_open or similar.
Yea, but i cannot help Jonathan with that. What "makes it make
sense" however, is that it starts up automatically. One can also
modify his/her pd icon so that it starts up with the patch.
And btw, lots of people use the word «plugin» to mean library or
external,
Honestly, you are to first to tell me this, but i'm not so old and
haven't really been around the world so much.
so, if by plugin, you mean gui plugin, you ought to be more specific.
Sir I will be Sir. Let me add that i'd reserve the name 'plugin' for
things that are pluggable into an API and that is something me and
Hans may have a different view about - for him (afaiu) it's almost
an API, for me hardly an API. Nevertheless, it's cool. (I won't
define 'cool' for you :o)
hehe, its the beginnings of an API, it definitely needs work. :)
As for the Tip of the Day thing, they are common in software, so I
guess that some people like them. I think the idea is good, but
usually the way its presented is not the best. For example, when I
start an app, I am usually focused on something that I need to get
done, so I don't want to see a Tip of the Day screen. But perhaps
there is another better time for that, or it could easily be an item
on the Help menu.
