Initvalue could be assigned with a loadbang->set. if you just need storage, let our pyqt interface catch a mouseover or something like that and a popup shows you the current state of the object. The Gui can access gobjs directly. This is used for in/outlet description of objects (like in [osc~] -> frequency, phase) already, so it should be easy to implement. Maybe the statusbar is a better place for this... _______________________________________________ nova-dev mailing list [email protected] http://klingt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nova-dev http://tim.klingt.org/nova
