imho the flattening bit is trivial, but having to quit and reload qc to see your modification working in context is a real pain.

*but* i whooped a huge whoop when i read the release notes for leopard - undo *and* some concept of master/clone/virtual patches!

so yep, what you need is there, just the editor doesn't really expose the functionality from a creators' point of view.

Hiya,

have you tried using Virtual Patches?

They're not quite what you were looking for, I don't think, but they might work for you. The thing to remember about them is that you'll have to remember either to 'flatten' your QTZs for sharing, or to include the virtual patch files themselves, with instructions on how to install them.

the more i use QC the more i want something like this:

i make a macro, i use this macro in several places in a big complex patch, suddenly i realize that i need to change a behavior in this macro, now i have to make identical changes to all instances of this macro
in my qc-patch...

it would be great if a macro could be "ghosted" so if i make a change in one instance of the macro all other
instances of the same macro gets auto-updated.

is there any way to achieve this in quartz composer today?

cheers,

markus
