hi, my last mail got nuked by the server, did you change config? it never used to have a prob with a faked 'from' field to match the subscribed address... anyways my vote is do away with the numbers. ive made a lot of minor tweaks to devel, which ive already made to impd as well, and definitely don't want to make them a 3rd time (that would be 3 strikes..). to fix/add stuff like: / .pdrc not being read on windows (pd.ini) / not being able to select 2 outs and 6 ins with portaudio / not being able to put tcl in your system path on win32 / no ASIO with non-MSVC on win32. / a few linux64 fixes / merge jsarlo's VST io sppt / almost everything from impd that wasnt in g_* files nonetheless in the actual code theyre too trivial for anyone else to notice, and an order of magnitude smaller than the contributions Tim has made, but i wouldnt want them to get lost..so in order of preference from most to least 1: do away with numbering, and just have a 'devel'. every month or so, make sure it compiles on all 3 platforms and dump into MAIN..theres few enough developers and i dont think theyre stepping on toes and generally work on difft things.. 2: keep numbering, but devel_0_56 becomes devel_0_57, so the 'little guy's stuff isnt lost, and so he doesnt have to bug miller or guenter or whoever and possibly paste a bunch of stuff in again and get grey hairs.. 3: crazy all-night frankenstein hack/merge fest with version # change that might lose features and add new bugs.. i mean the same reason i'd vote for 'devel' as rather using debian 'sid' than 'sarge' or something thats doomed (like win32)...

plugin~ for osx help?
by james tittle 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

heya, ...after seeing this mentioned, I decided to try and compile the cvs plugin~(can't believe it never crossed my radar before)...unfortunately I'm stuck in the configure stage: don't really know much about these wacky build systems, so I'm open to guidance :-) Here's my output thus far: tiggity:~/puredataDev/externals/plugin~ tigital$ ./configure --with-pddir=$HOME/puredataDev/Pd loading cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake... found checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... found checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one tiggity:~/puredataDev/externals/plugin~ tigital$ ...where to go next? Btw, ladspa and ladspa-cmt are available via fink... jamie

the pd console and windoze stderr
by IOhannes m zmoelnig 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

just browsing through msn i found an article about how to make applications that allow both non-console (GUI) and DOS-box modes. basically it suggest making 2 different application :a .exe (GUI) and a .com (console) application. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/02/CQA/ this might well be the way to go for pd too, as it is supported by older versions of windows too (unlike other methods like AttachConsole) mfg.a.sdr IOhannes

ideas for developing data structures further
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

(I've had this sitting my Drafts box for a while, its time to send it out...) In the process of making my "Solitude" composition (http://at.or.at/hans/solitude ), I came up with a few ideas for improvements on Pd's data structures. Overall I found it to be a quite nice composition environment and with some not so major changes, it could be quite usable as is. - a way to delete scalars The biggest improvement would be the addition of a method to delete scalars. This would allow a number of things currently not possible. A simple example would be to have a cursor and minute markers that only exists when the score is being played. A really great example would be the ability to show and hide parts of the graphical representation. For example, each voice could be saved to an individual file, then with a toggle, it would be displayed or hidden. - a way to raise/lower scalars so you can get to scalars that are blocked by others This is minor, but it would be handy to have a "send-to-back" function, so that you could get to scalars that are completely obscured by another. This could be implemented using something like a Shift-click, a menu item, and/or a key command. - full color support (8-bits for each R, G, B) If the data structures support standard 24-bit color, then color could be a much more usable dimension. The current scheme is a bit odd, and is quite limited in terms of the range of colors it can represent. The hard part of this is then how to represent the color as a number. You can't do standard hex with Pd because it would then be interpreted as a symbol if letter digits were present (a-f) and a float if no letter digits where present. Perhaps the most straightforward way to handle it would be to make one float for each R, G, and B. The graphic design standard seems to be 0-255, but since Pd is float-based 0-1 might make sense. And 0-1 would be easy enough to/from 0-255. .hc ________________________________________________________________________ ____ "Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more direct solution...

Hacking numberbox to send value only on mouse up
by Jan Baumgart 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

Hi Folks! I'm currently writing an oldschool pattern-list sequencer pd patch, using lots of numberboxes and the PDContainer external, eg. measure quarter tick values 1 2 380 12 -234 23 2.5 .... everything works fine, except one thing: When changing the time of one list entry via mouse movement, the list gets resorted on _every_ motion and eventually the entry gets replaced by another one and I end up in a complete "timeline" mess, ---HERE's THE ACTUAL QUESTION--- I'm looking for a way to change numbox or number2`s behaviour to only send its value, when the mouse button is released. I'm not familiar with PDs communication with the tk-GUI and the numbox-code seems quite confusing to me :(. Is there any chance at all, for an external to react on mouse _release_ ??? THX for any ideas on this. happy coding, jan. -- Lassen Sie Ihren Gedanken freien Lauf... z.B. per FreeSMS GMX bietet bis zu 100 FreeSMS/Monat: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/mail

devel_0_38 low priority callbacks
by Thomas Grill 26 Feb '05

26 Feb '05

Hi Tim, hi all, i'm experiencing some problems with the low priority callbacks in devel_0_38. They are working really good in pure message mode, but with some audio drivers (alsa_native, but apparently also alsa/oss) and dsp switched on it seems that they don't get processed. Maybe there's "not enough time" for them to be scheduled? best greetings, Thomas

[ pure-data-Patches-1060511 ] patch for native alsa sequencer midi support
by SourceForge.net 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

Patches item #1060511, was opened at 2004-11-04 21:18 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by zmoelnig You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=478072&aid=1060511&group_… Category: puredata Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Pablo MartÃn (caedesv) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: patch for native alsa sequencer midi support Initial Comment: The patch allows pd to be connected to different sources and sinks of midi messages through the alsa sequencer natively. It lets pd open 1 or more sequencer inputs or outputs. Alsa midi support is selected at compile time, if alsa headers are found alsa midi support will be compiled instead of oss. All midi events work ok, i think probably raw midi does not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: IOhannes m zmÃ¶lnig (zmoelnig) Date: 2005-02-25 18:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=564396 this crashes my system if i don't have an alsa-sequencer (e.g. no modules loaded) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Guenter Geiger (ggeiger) Date: 2004-11-12 10:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=430561 there is a bug when no alsa devices are present (or if they can't be opened). Attached addon patch fixes the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=478072&aid=1060511&group_…
