I also think the default should be relative to the patch. I am not quite sure now to handle abstractions, that's worth discussing more. I don't have time to work on it now, but if someone posts a bug in the tracker (or feature request, if you think that's better), I'll try my hand at it later. It's always useful to include a link to web archive to related discussions like this in the bug tracker. On a related note, for this release, I made Save As default to the Home folder (~/), what do people think about that? .hc > > roman > > > > > ___________________________________________________________ > Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http:// > messenger.yahoo.de > > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ > listinfo/pd-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- http://at.or.at/hans/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
