When a patcher is locked, some objects hide their inlets and outlets. 

Is there a way to force objects to continue to show inlets and outlets even when the patcher is locked?

Hi -

When a patcher is locked, some objects hide their inlets and outlets. 

Is there a way to force objects to continue to show inlets...

I think the outlets disappear only when you're in presentation mode and you can't see the patch cords. When you lock the patch, you just can't access to the information bubbles. Do you have a specific example?

If I command click in the white space in the patcher to lock the patch all the inlet and outlet graphics on standard message boxes are hidden.  Also for the  non-standard Bach library, on command click all the inlet and outlet graphics of the Bach.roll boxes are hidden. 

The reason why I’d like this is so that I can capture clean screen grabs with inlets and outlet graphics visible (like on standard non-message boxes) but without all the other graphics that get hidden (e.g. the  boxes around comments) when locking a patch. 

Here are some screen grabs to illustrate.
