If your patch is named foo.pd, send a "vis 1" message to it to give the window the focus, like this:
[vis 1( | [pd-foo.pd] Automation is tricky. In pd-extended or vanilla it will crash pd if you try to get a patch to close itself. Ivica made a fix for that in pd-l2ork-- which should work if you're only opening/closing every 2 minutes-- but I'm not sure if it's still crash-proof. -Jonathan ----- Original Message ----- > From: Tyler Leavitt <[email protected]> > To: pd-list <[email protected]> > Cc: > Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 4:44 PM > Subject: [PD] Switching Between Multiple Patches for Installation > > Hello all, > > So I have around 8 generative patches/static compositions that I want > to present as an installation.
