Hello Oliver,

is it possible to add the name of the knob to the knob (surface), like
you can do with a H-slider e.g.?

mmh, it's possible. but it would make the knobs uglier for sure,
which would defeat the purpose ;-))

i myself use mostly small versions of [ol_knob] that would become an unreadable
mess, if they all showed its remote name.

about the vanilla GUIs: yes, you can print its send/receive name, but mostly people use the label for user hints. meaning: a slider that's labeled "volume" is likely to actually have a different, more cryptic s/r name, like "$0-vol" or "pl1_v".

if i should ever really forget what the remote name of my own UI is,
i right-click "open" it (after all it's just a PD patch with a GOP)
and have a look inside. it's written in a symbol
box and of course also in the window title bar (1st argument)

another thought about this:

how about a "safe" area on the knob surface (let's say the lower-right corner)
that prints out the remote name in the PD window when clicked ?

best

oliver



Just for clarity reasons?

Cheers

Clemens
