minor but persistent annoyances
by Phil Stone 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

Hello all, There are two minor issues in PD that I've ignored for a long time, but they do tend to become annoying after long editing sessions. (The fact that I'm complaining about such small things attests to how amazing PD is otherwise.) 1) Windows do not hold their size. If I carefully set the size of a patch window, it may or may not stay that way for a few edits, but eventually, it will "grow". I like to have the windows be just a little bigger than the biggest element in my patch (usually a large background canvas), but PD seems to sporadically resize the windows a bit bigger than that. I can't find a consistent behavior here, it just happens eventually. 2) The opening position of property dialogs, when repeatedly accessed, "wander" down the screen, until eventually, they are nearly off the bottom of the screen. I'm guessing the behavior is partly intentional, to enable tiling of multiply-opened windows, but it happens even when only one property window is open at a time. I'm on PD-0.39.2-extended-test7, Mac Intel, if that's relevant. Phil Stone UC Davis

Hallo, jared hat gesagt: // jared wrote: > I've downloaded pecycle and pecycle-loops from > > http://footils.org/cms/show/16 > > I've tried opening the patch but it instantly crashes PD. Pecycle uses [plugin~] which might be the reason for your crashing. Or some other thing. Sometimes starting with "-noloadbang" helps with such problems. But note that I won't provide any support for pecycle anymore, and there never will be any bug fixes- This patch is just there for historical reasons, it's neither a good nor a very useful patch, and it's five years old. Don't even look. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__

pecycle
by jared 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

I've downloaded pecycle and pecycle-loops from http://footils.org/cms/show/16 I've tried opening the patch but it instantly crashes PD. There aren't readme files included for explanation. Is the patch Linux only? Is there any way to distinguish a Linux from a Windows patch ? Thanks much, Jared

spigot~

Hey all. I just downloaded a patch from this archive: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2005-08/030467.html I visited ydegoyon's site. I need spigot~ to run the patch. No chance that spigot~ has been ported for Windows? Thanks much, Jared

Any way to convert numeric symbols to floats?
by Luke Iannini (pd) 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

I know this probably falls into the category of string discussion, but I'm interested if there are any solutions to this currently employable: I have a symbol that I'm splitting up in order to extract numerical content from the text. I'm using zexy's s2l for this, then routing the float data back into l2s to assemble a value. But l2s only spits out a symbol, and I can't seem to find any object to reinterpret the symbol as a float. Even using list trim to remove the symbol selector leaves me with a numeric message that pd still refuses to interpret as such. [float] won't take it, nor will [t f], and [list] just turns it back into a symbol. I've attached a patch demonstating this issue. The only solution I can think of is to make a decimal interpreter to assemble my number rather than l2s (since s2l spits out the list as floats just fine), but that seems a bit silly. I look forward to the discussion : ). Luke

msgfile strangeness
by Tim Boykett 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hi, I am using msgfile to get a dataset and some parameters into PD from another application. I understood that all I needed was file1.jpg 1 2 3; file2.jpg 3 4 2; file3.jpg 1 1 1; in a file, read it with read file.dat and I would have three entries in the msgfile. It seems that I need to add an extra line with a semicolon at the start, then it reads in properly. But it gets munged when I save it again. Has anyone had similar experiences? I have tried using the cr argument, and it doesn't work at all, which makes me fear that there is a problem because I am on OSX and there might be some strange LF / CR difference. I would appreciate any help! This is a bit frustrating... cheers, tim

is PdVst being maintained at all?
by Josh Steiner 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Does anyone know if PdVst is being maintained at all? http://crca.ucsd.edu/~jsarlo/pdvst/ I used it a few years back and it was really helpful, but the last zip seems to have been created on 4/15/2004. has anyone tried to build it using a more recent build of pd? -josh -- ________________________________________________________________ tasty electronic music vittles -- bluevitriol.com the only music blog you need -- playtherecords.com you are the dj. interactive music -- improbableorchestra.com random observations of the bizarre -- vitriolix.com
