Max ToolBox : I need your help

Hello,

I am writing a paper about my Max ToolBox and time has come to change the name, the term ToolBox is too general and I need something that represents more the Idea of "UI enhancement"

I’d be grateful if people on the list could suggest names, if I choose your idea you will be mentioned in the paper. (and perhaps become famous :P )

Thanks a lot !

Maybe you have to explore the idea that your toolbox is not exactly a
toolbox,
it is more something like a really helpfull shortcuts colecction…(i think)
Anyway you can always go to a Greek vocabulary and find something related
;-)

Stefan, this function is already built into the toolbox but it’s hidden :p It’s actually the very first thing I wrote when I made the toolbox. The reason why it’s hidden is that I need the user to input the number of connections to make and wanted to find an elegant way.

You can still access it in the meantime by hacking up a little, you would need to send this message (via send object) to maxtoolbox receive object :

connect_single_to_single ar1 ar2 ar3 ar4 ar5

ar1 being the number of connections you want to make
ar2 being the inlet offset
ar3 being the outlet offset
ar4 [0 or 1] If you want to swap the objects
ar5 [0 or 1] If you want to connect last outlet to first inlet and so on

This will be included in the next version in a more convenient way.

You can mail me if you have any questions regarding this, I’ll be glad to help.

There is a lot of knitting that goes along with creating patches. Your utility helps me knit my maxpatcher into one fancy sounding sweater. How about,
