thispatcher magic?
This should be easy
Whenever I open a new Max Patcher it is always perfectly centered in the screen
No matter what size computer screen I have
If I resize and reposition the new patch, and close and open, it opens to the new size and position
-- the same is true for subpatch
//
I know how use thispatcher to resize and reposition a patch
Question: I am wondering if there is a thispatcher message that ALWAYS opens the patch to the center of the computer screen -- instead of using offsetting x and y for each different size subpatch
Question is better in the example:
even if there would be a fancy new "center" command, nothing speaks against using your old custom patch which calculates the position itself (like mrs. [110.thissplash] does).
and you need such a patch anyway as soon as you need to modify the position a bit... or want to center a window in a virtual workspace greater or smaller than the actual monitor size...
Hmmm...
Can't seem to find 110.everysolutionyouneedfordailywierdness abstractions in Package Manager
and this ancient link is broken
you can pass screen size (width - height) or use patcherargs instead of fixed values
As always SA
Exactly
thanks
