Pd documents path proposal
by Dan Wilcox 05 Aug '17

05 Aug '17

Here is my *working* proposal for beginner-friendliness: the Pd Documents directory. Also includes deken-workingness. Thanks to Miller for the new "add-to-path" message. Video demo: https://youtu.be/YWMnynyIeoc <https://youtu.be/YWMnynyIeoc> The documents path is an optional beginner-friendly location for patches and externals and defaults to USERHOME/Documents/Pd. If the docs path is not set when Pd is started, the user is prompted about creating it and it can be changed or disabled in the Path preferences dialog. If the user hits Cancel, the docs path functionality is disabled. A subdirectory for externals is also created and is set as the deken install directory. Once set, the docs path becomes the preferred initial directory for file dialogs to help those new to filesystem hierarchy. Included in this work: deken can now optionally add external directories to the user search paths via a popup after download. *mic drop* sleep -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Yes, my build will probably not run on anything older than macOS 10.9. > On Aug 4, 2017, at 11:46 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > I can't give feedback on this.

Writing part of large table to file
by Hrvoje Radnic 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Dear List! I would like to save a part of very large table into the audio file. Let's say, I have a 10 million points sized table and want to save a file to disk which contains the part of that table, ranging from 2M to 3M point. I know how to do it by recording the audio in real time, but would like to do it "instantly". Thank you for your suggestions!

JPEG support in Gem
by David Schaffer 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi, I'v just installed Purr Data 2.2.3 on a Win10 pro 64bits system and it seems that Gem has lost support for the upload of image files other than .sgi. How can I change that and upload jpeg's again? thank you very much, David Schaffer http://www.flickr.com/photos/schafferdavid/ https://soundcloud.com/schafferdavid https://vimeo.com/davidschaffer/videos

Re: [PD] "Wish" instead of "Pd" in menu bar on OSX
by Dan Wilcox 03 Aug '17

This is normal as the app is running using the Wish app from the command line on OS X. I haven't been able to find a way to change it or to set the icon. There may not be one. You can also build a mac app without installing: make app > On Aug 3, 2017, at 10:44 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 2 > Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2017 19:39:47 +0200 > From: rolfm(a)dds.nl <mailto:rolfm@dds.nl> > To: Pd list <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: [PD] "Wish" instead of "Pd" in menu bar on OSX > Message-ID: <b52bd76b4179d8526a1e78f00d37b867(a)dds.nl <mailto:b52bd76b4179d8526a1e78f00d37b867@dds.nl>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed > > after compiling pd-0.48-0test6 on OSX 10.5.8 > with > ./autogen.sh > ./configure > make > make install > > starting pd in Terminal > > everything seems to work > > only confusing thing: in the menu bar it says "Wish" instead of "Pd". > > probably a (very) minor 'problem' > > rolf -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

after compiling pd-0.48-0test6 on OSX 10.5.8 with ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install starting pd in Terminal everything seems to work only confusing thing: in the menu bar it says "Wish" instead of "Pd". probably a (very) minor 'problem' rolf

Re: [PD] deken not working on macbook 4.1 with OSX 10.5.8
by Dan Wilcox 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

> > what can i do? > > rolf Looks like a simple fix. You can do a simple test: 1. close Pd 2. Right click on the Pd .app & choose "Open package contents" 3. navigate to Contents/Resources/tcl 4. open pd_deken.tcl in a text editor 5. Find the line "for {set i 0} {True} {incr i} {" and change the "True" to "true" 6. save the file 7. run Pd -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Informations about GEM
by Ivano Arrighetta 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Hello everyone. As far as you know, is GEM updated to the latest OpenGL? Does it support shaders? Finally, I would like to investigate more, but the manual may be outdated (in the Pd site). Where's the latest documentation? Or, better, is there an updated documentation? Thanks in advance for help.

pd 0.48 test5 windows : pd~ subprocess
by Jean-Yves Gratius 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Hello, finally, i tested pd-0.48-0test5b.msw (windows 8.1) and on my computer it seems that pd~ (subprocess) doesn't work. (it works on pd 0.47.1) - opening file extra/pd~/pd~-help.pd OK - starting the subprocess OK - pd-subprocess receives messages (foo bar baz( from main process OK but - sending signal to subprocess (by checking the boxes below [osc~ 440] in pd~-help) makes the subprocess crash and the main process freeze - pd~-help.pd doesnt receive subprocess messagse [a b c( etc... - sending signal from subprocess to main process (by checking the boxes below [osc~ 440] in pd~-subprocess) create erratic values in main process (1.#INF or 1.QNAN after [env~ 8192] box)
