To better understand the concept behind the pdmtl abstractions, please read the following: http://wiki.dataflow.ws/PdMtlAbstractions/Features
Also, the fact that the pdmtl abstractions uses a one depth folder category system seems to bother and confuse some, more than if the abstractions simply used a prefix . Since the pdmtl abstractions are aimed for newbies and pro's alike, I am thinking that maybe I should change the categorizing system in the following manner (I kind of like how the abstractions look all sorted and neat in my file browser, but I never anticipated this could be a conceptual problem for some): * separate the category name from the rest of the abstraction name with a "_" while keeping the following rules: * keep a limited number of categories (lets say not more than 30) * also separate the rest of the words of an abstraction name with a "_" I could adapt the pdmtl browsers so they still look like the newbie friendly max/msp object box. What do you think (this question is aimed at the pd list, the pdmtl list and the pdmtl abstractions list)?
