Ok, I see. I don't get the idea of having a new method that's supposed to be hidden from the user (but really isn't) for every object that wants tooltips; in some cases it would subtly change the function of the object class, like [bang] and [route]. (Aside from crashing Pd, "dsp" isn't such a big deal because there isn't much of a need for an object that takes a signal AND parses arbitrary selectors, esp. on the same inlet.) Maybe this wouldn't be a problem if [textfile] output lists, and there was a [routelist] in Pd vanilla... Did desiredata have tooltips? If so, how were they implemented? -Jonathan > > Martin > _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
