[L2Ork-dev] feature request, view object number

[Liam Goodacre]

I don't know what the glist stack is. I'm talking about the object creation order that corresponds to the object's placement in the pd file. For example, in the command "connect x 0 y 1", x and y are the object numbers.

    Thank you for the suggestion. Are you talking about the memory
      location on the glist stack? (e.g. like the one that canvas name
      has)

        What do you think about this for a new L2Ork
          feature? A new option in the edit menu that places little
          numbers next to each object on the canvas, according to their
          creation order. This would be really useful for dynamic
          patching, ie. if you're trying to connect or delete objects
          and you need to know their number. It would also fit nicely
          with the "send to front/back" feature that you've already
          made.

          

          A couple of other thoughts:

          

          1. It would probably be best if this could only come into
          effect when edit mode is on, a bit like the little re-size
          dots in the corner of a "bang". It's probably also best if
          it's an additional option rather than contiguous with edit
          mode, as the numbers might get confusing or annoying in larger
          patches.

          

          2. A further possibility would be to have the same option for
          connection numbers. This would be immediately useful, as
          connection order is integral to PD functioning. On the other
          hand it might also provide less incentive to use trigger, and
          hence lead to sloppy patching.
