I have thrown together as simple php file that automatically builds a simple flat list of patches from those posted on the forum. I invite anyone who is interested to take a look at it. Here is the link:

http://electro-music.com/g2patches-prototype.php

This is just a prototype, it is incomplete and ugly, but it shows me and hopefully you that one can easilly get patches listed and organized in useful ways. This is an automatically generated list. When a new patch is added as an attachment, it shows up immediately.

I'm thinking it may be useful to have the patches date listed. I wonder what people think?

Does this seem more like a patch archive?

Of course we need sorting and search capability, but that can be added in due course. With only a handfull of patches, sorting isn't too important.

Notice how nice it is to click on the topic and see the discussion. I think that's what this is all about.

Note that your browser will change the links after you have visited them too. You can see at a glance if you've loaded a patch or visited the discussion topic.

php is a great idea. Adding dates would be good, but a seperate version that organizes them by forum/date would help people find the latest patches at a glance.

Datestamping the filename of the patch is imho a great idea. The point is that patches get downloaded and stored about everywhere. Then it is really hard to refind the source.

What I personally do when downloading a patch is rename the patches with a refernce and date received in the name. I do it like this: a patch named Bubbles.pch2 received on this forum is renamed by me to Bubbles_(G2F_15-04-2004).pch2. So, if I store this patch in my machine or in a folder somewhere I can later easily refind the source. Well, six years of classic Nord Modular has taught me a thing or two, especially in handling bulks of patches... Smile

Btw all mentioned patches are fictional and show no resemblance to any real persons, dead nor alive.

That's a good idea. The Patch Archive Summary page will have search capabilities, as soon as I get around to it. I envision a text box where you can type in a string to match in a patch name, or even in the post text or the comment.

Doesn't seem a high priority to do that now when you can see all of the patches on one page. Smile

Suggestions are very much appreciated. Now's the time for them. Thanks in advance. salut
