It might be nice to know what the argument is for math operators, etc. after they've been changed. Could be part of the pop up hint that occurs when the patch is unlocked.

(fwiw there is already something that's not quite what you want, but arguably close enough : in debug menu, event probe, when hovering a control patch cord will tell you what was the last message that went through said cord.)

Thanks. I'm aware of the debugger but it requires entering debugging mode and setting watchpoints before I can learn anything. And I think you only get a popup when the value changes and a new watchpoint won't show a value in the watchpoint window until there is a change. I don't make a habit of setting watchpoints on everything or patching along with the watchpoint window open. Maybe I should. As it stands, I end up just remaking objects with new arguments.

nono, you don't need watchpoints, don't need to enable debugging, just check "event probe" ; and it doesn't popup, you see it only when hovering the patch cord. Watchpoints are something else. Although i agree it doesn't completely cover your initial need since you check what goes through patchcords, not what is received at inlet, and won't help in some situation, for example attributes that you change through an object inspector.

Ah, I see. Thank you. Yeah that is pretty close to what I was looking for.
