I should have thought about it right away. Thanks for the addition...
Another question remains: How can the outlets be accessed in the gui?
If there are more than 6 outlets even now the outlet connectors get
blurred as the width of the object is too small.

Is there a way to stretch the object horizontally?

You are right: The inlets are still the other way around in Max. I
left it that way mainly for backwards compatibility reasons in pd and
because it makes more sense if the control input is the right one. How
shall I go about it? It could be changed using a proxy and we could
use two different names. For Max compatibility it would be nice if the
name for the pd-style object would change (and also the handling of
creation arguments), but that would break backwards compatibility in
pd.

Yours,
Orm


P.S.: BTW: What about a Max compatible "switch" object? Does something
like that already exist in pd? I need something like that all the
time.
