playing with macros it seems that if you have a macro with a published output port you can't add any "consumers" in that macro? (ie no renderers). It would help to get an error message when you try and add one instead of the patch just refusing to be added to the composition.

I'm not sure I understand why this is necessary but I'm guessing there is a very good reason for it :)

this is all well and good but it really reinforces the need for a "debug" patch that prints out current values to the debug log window. as it is it's really very awkward to try and monitor values inside a macro with published outputs. you can't add a text renderer into that macro so you actually have to publish the value you want to debug and render it from the root patch or another patch further up the tree.

I hope that makes sense

roger
