Hi all,
For a while I've wanted to have "synchronized" toggles, so that say I could have two of them, maybe one in top left of the patch window - and the other in the bottom right of the patch window, where I might be doing some work; and in case the window is large, then from the position of bottom right it would be a bit tedious and scroll to top left each time I wanted to click the button. In this kind of situation, I'd expect only one (say, the top left) to have its outlet connected to an actual object - the other would be there just to ease the working process.
So basically, it would be "either/or" pair - if I toggle one button on, the other turns on too; if I then toggle the other off, the first one turns of too.
Of course, if you just try to do the most trivial implementation of this:
... that is, outlet of one into inlet of other, and vice versa - and then you click either one, - PD will either crash/segfault, or you'll get a "stack overflow" message; since in this case, a recursive update loop happens.
So is there another method to allow for such "synchronized" buttons, without ending up in a recursive loop, and potentially crashing PD? Also, I could image synchronized number boxes to be useful, too...
