Re: [PD] Changing pd path in Settings stores current audio api to .pdsettings
by Dan Wilcox 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

It's really the same issue when you get down to it. IMO the command line flags should *not* save to the settings, but override what's in the settings at start. That matches command line flag behavior in pretty much all command line programs I've ever used and I see Pd saving those flag settings automatically an anomaly. As stated in the PR, I vote we change that behavior and perhaps add a new flag like "-save" to allow saving the settings *with* the command line flags. > On Nov 11, 2017, at 12:00 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > there's a related PR on github (it doesn't solve your problem, but also > tries to avoid spilling some cmdline options into the Pd-settings) > https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/153 <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/153> -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

[sketch], a tool for editing arrays
by Liam Goodacre 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

I finished this project a while ago but forgot to share it on the list. [sketch] is a tool for drawing polygons and Bezier curves into arrays, very useful for creating envelopes and custom waveforms. It's easy to use and state-saves automatically. Take a look at the attached gif to see. You can find [sketch] in the Context library: <https://github.com/LGoodacre/context-sequencer> https://github.com/LGoodacre/context-sequencer It requires several externals. I hope someone finds it useful!

Changing pd path in Settings stores current audio api to .pdsettings
by Peter P. 11 Nov '17

11 Nov '17

Hi list, For many years I started pd on Linux from the console with its default audio settings from my then .pdrc defaulting to alsa with a simple pd When I needed pd to use jack I would start pd -jack Nowadays it seems that pd stores whatever audio API I am currently using whenever I change any aspect of its settings, eg. changing search paths. This can lead to pd telling me that jack is not running. I have to check every time I modify any pd setting which audio API gets stored to .pdsettings and if that is my prefered default (alsa). Is there anything I can do to have a fixed default API regardless of other settings (a bash alias is not an option)? Thanks for all ideas! Peter

Re: [PD] blinkenlights player without rendering in window

(CCing the list to keep the thread within) * Markus Brandt <2brandt63(a)gmail.com> [2017-11-10 22:15]: > convert your ..blm files into .mov and do it in gem. whatever you need > zmoelnig offers it. since decades. > please rtfm. your descrition of needs is a little bit I am afraid my question was about something different. I am not trying to render sth into a movie, nor display a movie. I am trying to read a .blm file and get the pixel data from it as pd messages so that I can light up anything (eg. graphical bang objects) as pixels.

Win10: pix_image does not find files in folders with Umlaut
by Peter P. 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Before I get and (get an account on github in order to) report this as a Gem Bug, I would like to know if someone else can reproduce the following error. I create a directory namend "folder" that holds a patch image.pd consisting of a render graph with a [pix_image rockstar.jpg] object etc. and an image file rockstar.jpg in the same directory. It loads fine, unless the folder name is changed to contain an umlaut such as in "fÃ¶lder". Then the following error message is posted: GEM: recordQT: error -50 in FSMakeFSSpec() GemImageLoad: Unable to find file: C:/Users/rockstar/Desktop/fÃ¶lder/rockstar.jpg parID : 150470656 [pix_image]: loading of 'C:/Users/rockstar/Desktop/fÃ¶lder/quinn.jpg' failed This is on Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.14393 and it would be nice to know if other Pd objects and other Windows versions are affected too before reporting it as bug. Thank you for your help on this one! Peter

blinkenlights player without rendering in window
by Peter P. 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi list, I know that the unauthorized lib features the nice blinkenlights player. I would like to play back the movie files (.blm) but decide myself how to display the pixels. Actually I would like to do so across a videowall consisting of multiple computers running Pd/Gem. I can't arrive to find a way to get the messages that turn pixels on and off from the [blinkenlights] object, as it renders the output directly. Does anyone know if what I want to do is possible™ with Pd or if there is any other players for .blm files that output the pixel state as Pd messages? Thank you! P

which pix_opencv to select in Deken?
by Peter P. 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi list, I am wondering about the differences between the following two search results for "opencv" in Deken on Debian Linux: pix_opencv-v0.4-Ubuntu15.10-(Linux-amd64-64)-externals.tar.gz Uploaded by avilleret @ 2016-03-14 16:31:30 pix_opencv-v0.4-(Linux-amd64-64)-externals.tar.gz Uploaded by avilleret @ 2016-03-14 21:20:55 Furthermore, with either I can't arrive at loading the lib and creating its object. Loading with the path set and [declare -lib pix_openc] does not print a success message. The library seems to be present as file pix_opencv.l_ia64 in the respective folder. I am not familiar with .l_ia64 library files and thought it would be .pd_linux. The README.txt file within the pix_opencv mentions pix_opencv-overview.pd which seems to be missing. would be great to get it to run and learn what I am doing wrong! best/merci P
