Hi it really looks like a "locale" issue, where "0.1" gets encoded "0,1". Likely one of the externals the patch is using (vstplugin?). List every externals (send the list here) and try removing them one by one and retry saving the patch each time.
Hi, dear list !
I'm growing slightly desperate as i recently encountered a weird bug in
PD 0.55-2 on a
LUUNTU 24 system that i can't seem to track down no matter what i try.
Here's the outline:
After a while of working on a patch, without any reason or reproducable
scenario,
PD starts to save patches converting commas to colons.
Re-opening such a "wrong formatted" patch of course produces a lot of
errors, f.e. in message boxes that i use for loadbang stuff.
So, something like:
[;
foo 0.0345;
bar 4.567;
me 0.001;(
becomes just
[;
foo 0(
omitting all the rest of the message
And i get an error in the console:
canvas: no method for 'float'
Repairing such patches of course is a long and cumbersome drag
(because it's not immediately noticeable when this bug starts to kick
in, only on patch re-opening).
=====================================================================================
My patch is very big and involved (has lots of abstractions), so i won't
post it here.
First i thought it had something to do with an abstraction that used
data structures quite heavily, which occasionally threw some errors.
But i already removed that part from my patch. I am using a lot of
"write" and "read" stuff in my patch (mostly [text]s, but also
.fxp/.vstpreset files with [vstplugin~]. I can't seem to find any weird
stuff going on in my patch that could lead to this bug.
I have never experienced this before and i am beginning to think that
either my computer or my system is messed up. But just before i throw it
out of the window: Has anyone any idea what's going on here ? Or
experienced something similar to this ?
Best
Oliver
