Oh wow, these look great. Many thanks for working on this. It's going to make things so much easier! ________________________________ From: Pd-list <pd-list-boun...@lists.iem.at> on behalf of IOhannes m zmölnig <zmoel...@iem.at> Sent: 12 July 2018 12:01 To: pd-list@lists.iem.at Subject: [PD] more intelligent patching (was Re: intelligent patching)
the summer update... TL;DR: https://vimeo.com/album/5289665/video/279631360 I've implemented a few more features in my "intelligent patching" pull-request [374], that might make patching easier. so what's new: - everything is undoable. - single actions can be undo with a single undo (e.g. if you've "intelligently" connected an outlet to all inlets of an object (or rather not so intelligently, as you want to undo that), doing a <Ctrl>-Z will no longer only undo the connection to the first inlet, but all connections in one go. - inserting an object into an existing connection (similar to what Max8 offers, but without wobbly lines and using a keystroke rather than mouse foo) - select an object and a connection; and press <Ctrl>-k - OR select two connected objects and one object that is not; and press <Ctrl>-k - bypassing an object (removing it from a connection) - select 3 objects that are connected in a chain; and press <Ctrl>-k - completely disconnect an object - select 1 object; and press <Ctrl>-k - swap connections - select one connection; shift-click another connection - paste replace - copy (or cut) a single object (or msgbox,...); then select a number of other objects (or msgboxes) and do "Paste Replace". by default, the type of an "object" will not be changed (so if you try to paste/replace a msgbox onto a floatatom, it will be ignored)...unless your selection only contains a single type (e.g. objectboxes). right now "paste/replace" is a separate menu entry (without keyboard accelerator). i wonder whether it would make sense to merge it into the ordinary "paste" <Ctrl>-v (as you need to have a copybuffer that only contains a single element *and* elements must be selected in the target canvas; so the paste/replace is pretty well guarded) - pasting with offset - if the position of the pasted objects (really only the first object in the paste-buffer) is already occupied by an object, the paste will get an offset (as with duplicate). - autopatching into subpatches - when autopatching is turned on and you create a subpatch ([pd ...]), the subpatch will automatically obtain an inlet (or inlet~, if the upstream object has a signal outlet~), so you can keep autopatching. that's probably it. thanks to Alex, Dan, José & Liam for more inspirational ideas. of course this is just a pull request, so we depend on miller to merge it into the "master" branch :-) mgfdsr IOhannes [374] https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/374
