vis issue

[nicopan]

Hi, this week I compiled Pd-L2Ork from git on a Debian Wheezy: I notice that I can't set the visibility of an abstraction. An example:

I have a patch (patch-one.pd) that contains a subpatch (patch-two) and an abstract (patch-three.pd). In puredata and pd-extended I used to toggle visibility in these ways:

|vis 0( |vis 1( | / | / | / |send pd-patch-two|

and

|vis 0( |vis 1( | / | / | / |send pd-patch-three.pd|

The first method works, while the second not.

Thank you for the report. I will look into this as soon as possible. In the meantime, I would love to hear arguments for and against implementing this and/or finding an alternative way of doing this (perhaps Jonathan's canvasinfo object?). I say this mainly because this depends greatly on the tcl's internal proc structure which should be viewed as a hack as this proc is not necessarily meant to be exposed (AFAICT), but rather a side-effect of the c<->tcl socket-based communication.

Hi, it will be ok to have an alternative way, but canvasinfo will be also avaiable for vanilla and extended(just to keep the compatibility)? Thanks!

Not sure. That may be a question for Miller.

Best,
