Does a particular table/list/view exist such that it displays the hierarchy of patches and sub-patches? It would be very cool if I could see some tree type view of how patches are nested.

Extra bonus would be some type of feature that allows me to easily visualize which variables/send/receive are being used by what patches.

patch-hierarchy-viewtree

that's a great idea-- please include this as a feature request uncle 74

Thanks, but I assume that means there is no current way to do this?

not that i'm aware of-- the only thing that is related (but doesn't really come at all close to what you've proposed) is you can double-click on a send or receive to see the other sources/destinations.

it could be like a navigation panel or window that shows you where you are in relation to the whole patch-- you could click on a node to open that subpatch window, to access it directly rather than having to navigate through a bunch of parent patches

and something like the "Parameters" window you can open up from the view menu when using m4l, but displaying send, receive, var and pvar info.

Floatingpoint - that's pretty much exactly what I envisioned! Oh well, I guess we can just hope that this gets built in to some future release.

 should send an email to c74 support, so it can be registered as a feature request...

This would be fantastic. Love the tree idea with clickable nodes to access subpatches or abstractions. Or you click and you get the list of pvar, v, and send/receive objects; double-clicking opens the subpatch. Heck, what about a list of all the objects in the patch, filterable by type? Could you even see the current value states of objects like pattrstorage does? Etc...

Great feature request. Though I wonder...probably a lot of this could be done through JS, because it can "browse" through the patch hierarchy, find objects by type, etc. Might be interesting if someone tried to roll their own...

fwiw, just sent in feature request to support...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this kind of thing would be useful. I appreciate you submitting the request, Floating Point.

It's not too hard to build a simple patch mapper using JS. Here is a quick one I knocked up. It shows all the patchers and all the objects contained within them (with their scripting names if they have them).

Does anyone know if it's possible to get an objects arguments along with it's name and scripting name, this would make things very interesting...

You could try loading the patcher file into a JS object and parsing it with JSON.parse()
