This gets infuriating after a while.
Make a few patches within a macro within a macro within a macro (ha), like
iterator, render in image etc. Publish a few outputs to the parent patches and
up through your macro 'graph' to the top most patch. Within one of the sub
macros other than parent, decide you want to encapsulate something into a new
macro (say for organizational purposes), and all of a sudden your published
ports are no longer published, forcing you to re-publish them tediously. This
has to be a bug right? I can feel my sanity wither away. :)
I have some suggestions regarding publishing, etc.
When you control click/right click on a patch and select "Publish
inputs" or "Publish Outputs", can we have a that check next to the items be
triggerable for more than one?
ie: select "Publish Inputs", get a contextual menu of more than
one item. Be able to click on multiple items to enable the checkbox and thus
publish all of them from within the one menu. This would save enourmous amounts
of time, and also give the user a choice in what to publish and not, unlike the
Kineme work around which, iirc, publishes all input ports.
Add an additional menu option underneath Publish Inputs / Outputs,
which would be "Propagate all published inputs to top level patch" (as well as
outputs), similar to Kinemes addition. For those of us who have to work without
Kineme for various reasons, its a real loss, and ought to be within the QC
Editor Proper.
Community thoughts on these ideas?
