As said I am still pretty new to PD, and this is how I did it in 0.47 version and it worked there Thanks for the report. This was slightly broken and I believe it's fixed now, just not in a test release yet. If you want to try, you can copy the update to the helpbrowser GUI script wit the following steps: 1. close Pd 2. right click on the Pd.app (probably in /Applications) & choose "Open package contents" 3. navigate to Contents / Resources / tcl 4. open helpbrowser.tcl in a text editor (TetxEdit is fine) & replace all of it's contents with the updated file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pure-data/pure-data/4ceebf8ba41acdc235943… <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pure-data/pure-data/4ceebf8ba41acdc235943…> 5. save the file, open Pd & test -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

0.48.0 release status
by Dan Wilcox 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Ok all, at this point we've nailed most of the bugs and feedback so far. The latest PR is https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/123 <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/123> As far as I can tell, the only remaining things which could be done/included for the release are: Small Stuff * Remove midiin & sysexin Windows warnings in x_midi.c (& update help file) (Optional) Big Stuff * Adopt DejaVu Sans Mono a the default font -> this is in the dejavu branch https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/42 <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/42> This is mainly for mac & Linux, Windows support will need to be added later as mentioned in the discussion. It also fixes the bad Monaco rendering on retina screens at small font sizes. * Update the icon -> see my pd-icon repo https://github.com/pure-data/pd-icon <https://github.com/pure-data/pd-icon> & the recent thread on the pd-list There may be more things, but I think I'm done on my end for now. We could do one final test release after this, but hopefully the feedback bugs will all have been fixed. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Issue with PD 0.48.0test6
by jakob skouborg 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Hello :) First I’d like to say I am not 100% sure I post this in the right list, so if that is the case I apologise. I am still new to how this shabang works, so please bare with me ;) I posted an issue regarding the new version of PD 0.48.0test6 in a Facebook group regarding an issue with recalling preferences. But someone told me to post it here instead. So here you go: I have added a new path to PD, where I have my patches and I save the preferences and close PD. And when I open PD again, the preferences seems to be saved, but the path is not available in the browser. As said I am still pretty new to PD, and this is how I did it in 0.47 version and it worked there Anyway, here is a link to a youtube clip I recorded of the issue. I hope you can make something of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP-NytWp_s4&feature=youtu.be And BIG thanks to everyone on this list for keeping this excellent music software alive. Best wishes, Jakob Skouborg syntaxerror60(a)hotmail.com<mailto:syntaxerror60@hotmail.com>

pd-0.48.0test6: help browser doesn't expand.
by Christof Ressi 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Hi, with pd-0.48.0test6 on Windows 7 the help browser doesn't expand anymore to the right, i.e. I can't open folders in the right column. also, when I add the user path "C:/Pd/abs", the "abs" folder doesn't have a name, it just shows up as "/" whereas in pd-0.47.1 it showed up as "abs/". see attached screenshot.

set canvas_fill?
by Paul Rankin 29 Jul '17

29 Jul '17

Is it my imagination, or did... set canvas_fill "COLOUR" ...used to work in vanilla Pd (when added to theme-plugin.tcl in the Pd data dir)? -- www.paulwrankin.com

The first is seen in the Log chooser of the Pd window - there are ellipses displayed. Did you use a previous test version? If so, there was a bug in the loglevel saving/loading which was added where the log level was being erroneously saved as an array when it should be saved as a single string. What you're seeing is the older array value being loaded as a string. Simplest solution is to delete the value from your gui preferences with: defaults delete org.puredata.pd-pd-gui loglevel This error will *only* come up for those on macOS who used test3 and changed the log level. > The second and third are seen in the next screenshot: the entries in File > Open Recent each have an incremental number of apostrophes appended to their names. This is also a holdover error from an earlier test release, clear the menu and then try opening files to double check the entries are added and work when clicked on. > Thirdly, the Help Browser behaves unusually in multiple ways: first of all, it starts off with the top item double-selected (both blue highlight and dotted border to the blue highlight), but despite the double duty, you still have to click to select that item again in order to get the next column to show up. That's normal and was the previous behavior. Hit enter or click. > If you use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate the Help Browser, and have navigated to at least the second column, if you use the left-arrow to navigate back one column, then use the up- or down-arrow keys to browse the items in the current column, the right-most column doesn’t update its contents, instead retaining the contents it had previously, creating a visual mismatch, as seen in the screenshot. That's also normal / previous behavior. Click or hit the right button to update. If the browser updates whenever you navigate it goes a bit crazy visually. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

building Pd from git with asio support: portaudio can't find asio headers
by Christof Ressi 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

Hi Dan, I know, there is more urgent stuff going on right now, but in case I forget: I tried to compile Pd from git with asio support. My system is msys2 on Windows 7. When compiling portaudio, gcc can't find the necessary ASIO headers (which are in asio/ASIOSDK2). I tried to add the directory via configure (--includedir, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, ...) without success. copying the following header files from ASIOSDK2 to /portaudio/portaudio/include did the trick: asio.h asiodrivers.h asiodrvr.h asiosys.h combase.h ginclude.h iasiodrv.h pc/asiolist.h (yes, asiolist.h has to be in a folder 'pc') also, ASIO seems to link dynamically to libstdc++-6.dll from msys64/mingw32/bin. for me, there was an interference with another version of libstdc++-6.dll somewhere in my system. I also had this problem with openFrameworks. I think it's good to either link statically or to copy libstdc++-6.dll into Pd's bin folder. The latter is my personal solution for now. For OF, I always put it into the export folder so it gets copied automatically everytime I compile a new app. I can remember that other people had this problem with OF so I can imagine it could also be a problem with Pd.

[pure-data:patches] #583 fix pointer issues with [list store]
by Ticket 583 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

--- ** [patches:#583] fix pointer issues with [list store]** **Status:** open **Group:** bugfix **Created:** Mon Jul 24, 2017 07:58 PM UTC by Anonymous **Last Updated:** Mon Jul 24, 2017 07:58 PM UTC **Owner:** Miller Puckette **Attachments:** - [list-store-patch.diff](https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/patches/583/atta… (2.9 kB; application/octet-stream) this commit fixes two issues: 1) mistake in list_store_get (wrong onset for alist_toatoms) 2) when the alist moves in memory (because of memmove() and/or resizebytes()) gpointer atoms point to an old location in memory. I added a function list_store_restore_gpointers() which is called whenever that happens. I also attached a test patch.

nbx bugs
by Matt Barber 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

Hi all, We've been looking at a seemingly simple bug in [nbx], but we can't quite figure it out. This bug affects our [number~] abstraction in cyclone. Prior to pd 0.47, NaNs did not display in either the number atom box or [nbx]; this was fixed for atom boxes in 0.47, but not [nbx]. [nbx] also does not pass nan from its output while the atom box does. See https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/bugs/1251/ We thought that this behavior was probably introduced here: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/commit/cd737749b51e03ba1bdc6d8b66b89… The comparison in this code would filter nans. We tried a simple revert but it didn't seem to work, so something else must be going on that we couldn't find. While we're at it, a related bug also affects [cyclone/number~]: https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/bugs/1292/ Any thoughts? Thanks, Matt & Alex

Fwd: Three test5 graphical errors
by Kevin Haywood 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

Hello fellow puritans, I’m forwarding this to this list at Miller’s request: I just grabbed test5, and right away found three graphical errors on latest macOS (10.12.6). The first is seen in the Log chooser of the Pd window - there are ellipses displayed. The second and third are seen in the next screenshot: the entries in File > Open Recent each have an incremental number of apostrophes appended to their names. Thirdly, the Help Browser behaves unusually in multiple ways: first of all, it starts off with the top item double-selected (both blue highlight and dotted border to the blue highlight), but despite the double duty, you still have to click to select that item again in order to get the next column to show up. If you use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate the Help Browser, and have navigated to at least the second column, if you use the left-arrow to navigate back one column, then use the up- or down-arrow keys to browse the items in the current column, the right-most column doesn’t update its contents, instead retaining the contents it had previously, creating a visual mismatch, as seen in the screenshot. Best of luck getting this all together! Cheers, Kevin
