Sorry for your MacBook!<br>Well lets keep designing this before jumping on the code... If we want proper tabs, that will take Tk 8.5. Now that we don't want pd to depend on 8.5, we could make this up as a plugin, which would let pd start up without 8.5 as well. What do you think?<br>

<br>Let me think a bit forward on this... when you say a dialog and sub dialogs, do you mean a dialog with multiple tabs (that is what i see to be popular in practice) or literally many modals available from one central modal?<br>
I'd say tabs make the most sense, but i see that some of the dialogs are produced by the C <br>side not Tcl/Tk (are they?) in which case it will not be easy to stuff them into the tabs.<br>I'm asking because i would be willing to code this up.<br>
