Hello, See IOhannes's reponse to me about the -objects.txt. Also, yes, it would be good to have a centralized up-to-date resource with this information but I think it's also important that the same information or near the same information is available within Pd as well. Having to open a web-browser and dig around the internet for the information (which admittedly would be easier with an up-to-date centralized resource) just adds extra steps to the process when it's so much more convenient and intuitive to not have to leave Pd and get the information you want and download the library with just a few clicks or so. -- Derek Kwan www.derekxkwan.com _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
