Hi -
I was just tinkering around with some of the graphics in puredata, before noticing that there's a GUI rewrite project underway ( http://puredata.info/dev/PdGuiRewrite ). Could someone tell me what the status of this is?
I've been tinkering around a little in the code myself,
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-SKz32YaPs3U/TlBQKiAHtyI/AAAAAAAAAdk/_mjg3...
but see that some of the things I had in mind to do are on their to-do list, and I may have some other usability suggestions as well.
Hey Stephen,
The pd-gui-rewrite effort has been entirely folded into Miller's pure- data.git and is included in the 0.43 release. The dev/PdGuiRewrite page is there for historical interest. You can find out more about one big feature of this effort in the GUI Plugins section of the docs:
http://puredata.info/docs/guiplugins
The look and feel of Pd is a very personal issue, so now we can customize it a lot using GUI plugins. For example, I think that straight cords are much more readable than bezier curved cords. As for bugs, please do make bug reports, you can get to the bug report form from the Help menu in Pd.

Oh, hey -
Thanks for bringing me up to date : )

To some extent it is. The big problem for me is the inlet/outlet size - the precision required isn't something I can comfortably manage on a touchpad. I'm a more than a little overwhelmed with just getting to grips with pure-data and compiling the code - from what I can tell in the source code, the inlet/outlet drawing is totally hard-coded. If someone could tell me whether or not this would be possible to do with the gui plugin system, or if it already exists (based on an earnest search, it does not), I would appreciate it : )
As for bugs, please do make bug reports, you can get to the bug report form
from the Help menu in Pd. I'm a little confused - I didn't mention anything about bugs.
Thanks : )

You can increase the font size which will make the boxes bigger. Also, you might like the new inlet/outlet highlighting that's in Pd- extended 0.43 and pd-l2ork. The inlets and outlets are tagged using Tk tags, so you should be able to change their size using the Tk canvas commands 'coords' or 'itemconfigure -width', etc. I've never tried tho.
As for bugs, please do make bug reports, you can get to the bug
report form from the Help menu in Pd. I'm a little confused - I didn't mention anything about bugs.
I consider usability problems bugs.
