Hi you all,

just a basic question first :

sometimes inlets and outlets objects appear with numbers inside, and automatiquely (is that english ?) renumber (sort) when repositioning.
sometimes it's juste an i (for inlet) and a o (for outlet) with no increment when adding an other.
does anybody knows why ?

second question :
does anybody allready have heard something about inlets and outlest that do not appear on a bpatcher box (I speak about a bpatcher with a file that got inlets and outlets objects in it)...

I'm on Max 5 with Mac OS X.5.7

thanks for helping

resolved, sorry, I must be tired (i was looking for outlets in presentation mode).

for the numbers inside inlets and outlets objects it seems that they appears only in subpatches.
and inlets and outlets with simply an i (or a o) are for the first-level patch.
