although creating objects with variable case works fine on all plattforms,
what doesn't work is the help patches - at least on windows. for example,
if you look for help from [Line~], you'll get [line~] instead. would it be
possible to correct this to make it more cohese? or is the help search
plattform dependent, and thus impossible to fix?

Just a quick note: as operating systems treat upper- and lowercase in

renderDepthSelector.pd for an object called [renderdepthselector],

abstraction names.
On Windows and OSX, [renderdepthselector] won't create either, though
the file will be open. GetProcAddress and dlsym are case-sensitive. Then
after that, class_new is case-sensitive too (because selectors are
case-sensitive).
all true, but GetProcAddress will never be called for a file called
"renderDepthSelector.pd".
anyhow, i (personally) don't think that CamelCase objectnames are bad.
just make sure that you really use them throughout, both on the
filesystem level and on the patching level.
(or even better: switch to a case sensitive filesystem in the first
place :-))
Or you go with operating system features: On *nix systems you could
use a symbolic link like "ln -s renderDepthSelector.pd rds.pd".
Only on filesystems that support it. I say that because FAT is becoming
*more* common on those operating systems; so when you transmit the file
using flash-memory formatted the default way, you have to tar it or zip
it.
i didn't know that zip would handle symbolic links. (never tried though)
thanks for the idea.
