some alternative PD icons for OS X
by Anthony Saunders 20 May '05

20 May '05

I hope I'm not stepping on anyones toes, but I made these icons today and I figured I'd share... http://www.overwhelmed.org/pdicons/ The standard PD.app icon is too large for the cmd+tab application switching GUI, so I made some new ones. OS X icons can be up to 128x128 pixels, but I've noticed most restrict themselves to a smaller area and these icons take this into account. Anthony

number2
by hard off 20 May '05

20 May '05

hi, not sure if this has been raised before, but why does number2 kill its inlet when you add a recieve in the properties box? i can't really see the practicality of this, and there are plenty of times when you might want to set the recieve symbol AND have access to the inlet. matt

Tutorials in spanish
by Andres Cabrera 20 May '05

20 May '05

Hi, I've made some pd tutorials in spanish, based on the Max tutorials. Someone asked about this some days ago, and since I'm not planning on translating them to english, these patches might be a starting point. They're at: www.geminiflux.com/Stuff/Tutoriales_pd.zip Cheers, Andres

gop / tcl-tk cpu overload
by jmmmp 20 May '05

20 May '05

dear list, I have a patch which is a simple sample player (with xgroove~), with graphical display of the array and the reading point. I intend to have simultaneous copies (4 to 8) of the patch running together, so I made it an abstraction with gop. I suspect that there is a problem with the tcl-tk progam: when I try to move the patch it waits a few seconds (!) if I drag-and-drop, and then it goes very slowly. but worse, when I put two abstractions in the same patch, the cpu shoots to minimum 80% (dsp state doesn't matter). in case I open several times the same patch with one abstraction, the cpu goes only to 15% (it's still too much, but not to compare with before) were there any problems with tcl-tk reported lately? I'm running xp, 0.38.3 thank you, João Miguel Pais Lugostr. 14 79100 Freiburg i. Br. Deutschland +49 (0)761 7074997 jmmmp(a)arcor.de

Bounty [Re: no licensing, no money?]
by Chris McCormick 20 May '05

20 May '05

Hi, Why not make a decentralised bounty system? someone with a paypal account is nominated 'treasurer' via a democratic process. There then exists a website where anyone can create feature requests. Anyone can also add a bit of money towards a feature request, which goes into the treasurer account. Then, once the feature has been completed, if a majority of pledgers agree that the feature is completed, the money is tranferred to the account of the developer who did it. Not that I neccesarily agree with the concept of bounties in the open source world, but to me if there had to be a system that would be a logical one. Best regards, Chris. ------------------- chris(a)mccormick.cx http://mccormick.cx

sending TCP data to Pd as a list
by David NG McCallum 20 May '05

20 May '05

Dear list, I'm sure the answer's incredibly simple, but how can I format TCP data going to Pd so that Pd can parse it like a list? At the moment it sees everything as a big string. I've also noticed that commas seem to split the data going in, is there anything else like this I should know when sending raw TCP to Pd? I'm using python to send all this data, btw...

no licensing, no money?
by Max Neupert 19 May '05

19 May '05

Hi list, I'm curious to hear your point of view to this: the university asked me to review the list of software they want to order for the department. They've got also Max/MSP and Jitter on the list. This is a nice thing but my point is: the students already work with PD, why should they use and learn software they might not be able to afford after they leave the university? I guess you all agree that the money should rather be spent in PD development. but since there is no license to aquire the university can't ask companys to give bids on this deal. how can open source projects handle this? any suggestions? -- Max Neupert Tutor im Fachgebiet Medienkunst Hochschule für Kunst und Design Burg Giebichenstein Halle, Deutschland http://kunstundmedien.burg-halle.de

[hid] 0.5 release
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 19 May '05

19 May '05

Here is an alpha test release of the cross-platform, unified [hid] object. It uses a event type/code naming scheme taken from the Linux input event system, since it is much cleaner than Microsoft DirectX, Apple HID Manager, or the USB HID schemes. http://at.or.at/hans/pd/hid.html In this version, I cleaned up the code a bit and added a number of new mapping objects. Keyboards are supported under GNU/Linux thanks to Georg Holzmann. Standard joysticks and mice are supported almost exactly the same in GNU/Linux and MacOS X. Tablets are supported in GNU/Linux, but Wacom wrote a whack driver for MacOS X, so tablets are not yet supported in MacOS X. .hc ________________________________________________________________________ ____ http://at.or.at/hans/

pdp fullscreen
by we are 19 May '05

19 May '05

just wondering if someone can explain this for me. i have my second desktop(fluxbox) sent out my s-video and into my TV(soon to be a projector). problem is that its a bit fuzzy. when i play media on to the TV using mplayer or VLC, i can check fullscreen mode and it flickers for a bit then the fuzzyness is gone and fullsreen is all nice. how can i achieve this with a PDP screen. at the moment i am just expanding my xwindow to cover the whole screen but the border is still there, and it is still fuzzy. and why does this happen, is it an interlacing issue? i'm sure this is a simple problem to fix and i have over looked something. thanks t
