1) ugly workaround, make symlinks to the same patch so it can be opened (and then managed) via different filenames or directory names) 2) I could add a message to pd or perhaps a startup flag, or both, to switch the behavior on and off. 3) (I doubt this is a good idea) I could make it "0.48 compatible" to open duplicates.
my vote is #2 ! (that is: both a startup flag AND a possible message to PD to dynamically turn it on/off) now we only have to decide what the default behaviour should be ;-) (i personally think that multiple patch instances should stay the default.) best oliver _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
