Feature Request: "New view of..." as a message to a bpatcher
Apr 24 2011 | 1:59 am
Hi,
I'm using a litlle bpatcher to represent just some presets that are in a patcher, and beside the presets, in this big patcher, there are lots of parameters, then i want to open the window of the patcher that is inside the bpatcher, i can do that but it needs to be in edit mode : ctrl-click on the bpatcher > object > New view of... and it open a new window of the patcher that is contained in the bpatcher... (i just discovered this great possibility!) ...But i'd love to do that more simply, and not in edit mode!
I suppose there is no such thing as a "New view of..." message to a bpatcher ?
This would be really great.
Thanks,

- Apr 27 2011 | 7:03 pmNo because "openfile" would open the original file, with no link at all to the bpatcher inlets/outlets...! this is not the same instance.While "New view of..." really open a new view of the SAME INSTANCE of the patcher that's inside the bpatcher : When you move some data or object in this new view you see exactly the same stuff moving also in the bpatcher.
- Oct 26 2011 | 1:44 pmI realize that this post is 6 months old, but since there was no solution given, I'll add this anyway:You could put a subpatch in the bpatcher containing everything but the presets, and then send the message "front" to thispatcher in that subpatch.See the patch below:
