I think there is a lot of potential for using color in Pd patches to represent state. It's just a matter of trying things. It would take some diving into the guts of Pd. .hc On May 10, 2007, at 11:42 PM, Luke Iannini (pd) wrote: Hallo all, Just wanted to post an idea... It would be

Yes, that's true, the real problem is something else: There is no easy way to get a list of external/abstraction dependencies for any given patch. If you could get such a list, complete with file locations, it would be easier to collect all your patches for an archive file. ~David On 5/15/07,

True, it would be great if these features were somehow automated. Like a dynamic object creation scheme where the external libraries and abstractions are created as arguments as they are imported. Probably too much wishing on my end for that though! ~Kyle On 5/15/07, Georg Holzmann [EMAIL

Also, if the patch is to be linked from a web page (link to a single Pd file) then most browsers can associate the filetype and open Pd. This doesn't work if the file is tarred or zipped so just make it a tar file isn't really a satisfactory solution. The more robust way is to have everything
