Comments on Inlets or Outlets (gen~)
Hello!
This seems to be a minor issue but it does bug me (pun intended, I'm sorry):
I've built a little GenDSP that calculates some steps with different signals from analog channels, that's why I've labeled / commented the inlets.
However the comments only appear in the gen patch - not in the gen~ version... Why is that?
Best,
Arne
I believe it's a bug. I recently noticed the same.
but once i started the dsp, it works:
Interesting find: the gen~ inlet comments only show up after you turn on the DSP, so you have to enable DSP each time you open the patch to see the comments. But for inlets inside a sub-gen patcher, the comments show up right away, whether DSP is on or not.
A wild guess: This seems to be because gen~ inlets’ assist strings aren’t fully initialized until the DSP graph is compiled and running. Probably because the parent gen~ patch is already loaded in an initialized context, so the sub-gen inlets don’t depend on DSP activation to show their assist strings.
