There's no way for the input methods to differentiate input from separate users. And even if you fixed that, things like dragging array points happen by setting _global_ variables for callbacks. So if you drag on one array while I happen to be dragging on another (or doing anything else for that matter), we'll end up messing with each other's interaction with the patch.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1427825605701_23522" dir="ltr"><br><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1427825605701_22439"></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1427825605701_22439">-Jonathan</span></div> <br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> On Tuesday, March 31, 2015 6:59 PM, jamal crawford <threen52@ml1.net> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container">hey list<br><br>....without restarting pd or the patch.<br>theoretical reality or dream?<br><br>best regs<br>~/.jc<br><br>_______________________________________________<br><a href="" class="removed-link" ymailto="mailto:Pd-list@lists.iem.at">Pd-list@lists.iem.at</a> mailing list<br>UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> <a href="" class="removed-link" target="_blank">http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
