I find the data structure deign extremely limited and have been thinking for years about how to make it more powerful. I have a rather weak idea about alowing deletion of individual items in lists that I'm planning to try out in the run-up to the next release - not that that can help you right now.
(In addition to the manifold problems that others have noted I'll add more fundamental ones: fundamentally clunky "pointer" mechanism difficulty of making numerically accurate changes on visual data structures (except by escaping to a text represntation ala 'properties' :) cheers Miller On Tue, Jun 11, 2013 at 03:04:10PM +0200, Patrice Colet wrote: > > > Envoyé: Mardi 11 Juin 2013 11:25:23 > > Objet: Re: [PD] Data structures: no object for freeing pointers? > > > > On Die, 2013-06-11 at 11:00 +0200, Jan Baumgart wrote: > > > I've been building a sequencer with data structs.
