I'm sure that everyone gets frustrated working with objects like [pack f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f]. Inspired by whale-av's discovery, here's a patch that will help you do large connection jobs at once, far preferable to fiddling around with those tiny inlets!
At the moment it only works between two objects, not if you have to connect one object to lots of different places. Perhaps we can adapt it to do this in the future.

edit: please ignore this attachment and go straight to v 1.3 below.

God work! ... sorry, I mean good work! ... or both.
This will help move pd in the same direction as l2ork http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/8628/implementing-pd-l2ork-enhancements-to-pd-extended/3
and be very useful to boot.

and I was about to post my idea for a new forum subject after your post in my discovery thread

because after I had posted I found this: http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/4663/how-to-disconnect-objects-in-realtime-not-with-the-mouse/4 from this very forum 4 years ago... not a definitive answer, but the correct answer all the same.

A better version of this is coming...

NAILED IT!

@LiamG brilliant job!!

Ditto

Here's one more update so that you can connect from one single object to another (both with multiple connections).

Sorry, I should have gone through this trial and error process before I started posted here. I just got so carried away!

Note that the "select" button will always and only order objects from lowest to highest object number. If they appear in a different order on the screen, you'll have to type in a list manually.

@LiamG nice one! I made something for connecting objects some time ago (but far from such complex object as yours), you have to select two objects, press button, and it dis/connects all their nlets, that's all. I wanted to incorporate keyboard control, but didn't want to make it part of same abstraction, then I left it as it was...
