[solved] Creating help patcher with tabs?
When creating a help patcher (.maxhelp) patcher, the usual method to crate tabs doesn't work. When creating a sub patcher and setting the Show On Patcher Tab argument it appears initially when setting it to top-level but will not show up when re-loading the patcher. Same happens when freezing the argument.
Does anyone know how to created a tabbed help patcher? I can see that in the built in ones and also in those from 3rd party packages no subpatcher are used.
How @RODRIGO or @👽'TW∆S ∆LIENZ👽 did you do it in your karma~ package?
after digging a bit more I discovered how help patchers are made. the sub patchers are on the root patcher, which is hidden. this can be achieved by manually editing the xxx.maxhelp json and adding
"showrootpatcherontab": 0,
You could also just right click on the tab section and uncheck "Show Root Patcher on Tab"
thanks!! that seems to have been too obvious for me :)
