Hi,
I am working on a modular project, - different GUIs for different tasks, those I want to use live on stage.

Think several interfaces.

Now I want to be able to switch between them dynamically without having to use the menubar or the OS.

I already found how to open and close pd-files within a patch:
http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/10258/loading-a-pure-data-patch-pd-file-within-a-pure-data-patch-pd-file/6

but I don't want audio-dropouts due loading a new patch.
(This I can achieve by separating the GUIs from the audio-processing and keeping this running in the background)

And the closing-thing seems to be unstable here, sometimes it works and other times pd crashes, I don't know why ...

Is there a way to switch between opened windows within pd?
Can I address the "Windows"-Menu from the inside of a patch, to bring a window to the front?

PDL2-Ork Ubuntu here.

@lacuna You can switch the visibility of subpatches, so you can build a master,pd with subpatches, where you put the modules inside and activate GOP. Like this:
master.pd
instrument1.pd
The arguments of the relocate message are about window size and position, but i don't know what the +1+1 and 1x1+ are for.

ah, cool, nice, thank you very much!
