I try to avoid the iemgui "init" method because it isn't represented in
the Pd diagram.
I'd rather do this:
[loadbang]
[42(
|
[numbox]
Then you can see if you made a mistake. For example, I forgot to
connect [loadbang] to [42(. I can quickly scan all other places where I
use [loadbang] to see if I made a similar error.
But if you use the "init" method, you must right-click and choose
"Properties" on every single numbox to do error checking. The time
wasted isn't worth whatever it is you think you save by using "init".
Digression-- consider a Properties dialog with the following button:
[don't fire nukes]
Do you press it or not?
