I agree, this is an established aspect of patching in Pd and changing it is not likely possible at this point. A positive reinforcement for using trigger is that it's simply more readable. I also admit to using fanning when I know order isn't as important for that case,
I feel like often these problems also come from people trying Pd out after being more familiar with Max. Perhaps it would be good if Pd included a mini "Pd for Max users" guide which starts with execution order differences, ie. on canvas placement versus creation order. Forgive me if this info is in our documentation, I admit to not having gone through it since circa 2006 when I first started with Pd. > On Feb 10, 2022, at 12:00 PM, pd-list-requ...@lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 3 > Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2022 10:30:36 +0100 > From: Roman Haefeli <reduz...@gmail.com <mailto:reduz...@gmail.com>> > To: pd-list@lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at> > Subject: Re: [PD] [midifile] > Message-ID: <32c6cc64713fab78eae64728309bb95975471116.ca...@gmail.com > <mailto:32c6cc64713fab78eae64728309bb95975471116.ca...@gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > On Thu, 2022-02-10 at 10:09 +0100, Max wrote: > >> Should Pd warn the user when one outlet is connected to multiple >> objects? > > I'd rather want Pd not to do that. > > 1) There are too many cases where fanning outlet connections are OK. > > 2) I believe it's more valuable if people do not fanning connections > because they understand their implications rather than because a > message tells them to avoid them. > > 3) I'm personally not so fond of the idea of giving people patching > advice. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>
