hello,

it seems to me that there is an inconsistency regarding menu items between live.menu and umenu: in umenu the separator for menu items is , in live.menu it's a space.

now for for live.menu, if you have items comprised of multiple words you have to add quotes around the words "envmode trueenv lpc". however, live.menu will output the chose menu item with the quotes.

of course there's workarounds, but couldn't we just use , as the separator in live.menu?

thanks,
robin

umenu is the bad example, for some historical reason, it's still the only one object that requires comas to separate elements. Live.menu is just consistent with the new standardized way. That's just the way it is.
