i doubt that it is confusing. but: if you do find it confusing, just put the flags at the beginning.it's not like Pd is *forcing* you to put the sigmund~ flags at the end, and the flags for all other objects at the beginning. (*that* would be an inconsistency, and deserve some attention).
it's not even documented, that you can put the flags at the end.and i agree with christof, that there's no benefit in documenting that you can put them at the end.
so just forget it, and the source for the confusion will be gone.
[netreceive -u 5000] will listen to port 5000 and will use udp protocol,but [netreceive 5000 -u] will listen to port 5000 and use tcp protocol!! -u is ignored in this case...yup, wrong order, so it gets ignored, but a warning should be given that the order is wrong, so it's ignored!
i agree that a warning should be given if there are any ignored (and probably also: unknown) arguments (for objects with a complex invocation).
in general i think: it is confusing if things don't work. it isn't confusing if things do work. fmgdasr IOhannes
