[PD-dev] object naming (related to several recent discussions)

[Loic Kessous]

Hi,

it seems that there is several problems about objects from different  
libraries that have the same names.

I wonder if a solution could be to keep things as they are,including  
the way to call related to the librairie as:

[the_libA/the_object]

or

[the_libB/the_object]

but also

introducing copies of these objects with new more specific names (that  
still have to be defined of course...) .

in this way, everyone will be able to use old patches, but  
progressively it will be possible to make new patches without  
specifying the name of the lib.

For the new names, I would suggest that in the case that the object  
has a identical name in Max would keep is name (and by default if no  
lib is specified this one should be created),
and the other get a new name. In this way, it may help people (like  
me...) who have patches in Max 4 to convert them to Pd in an easier way.

hope that help
