and you tried to access (say) the "Frequency Ratio". you tried (without success) to use things like "frequencyratio" and "frequency_ratio".
this does not work.
it's not meant to work, so it doesn't surprise me very much...
it might be a good idea to allow underscores as well, but so far nobody has asked for it. also, i think that this is probably not so important, as you can just reuse the symbol you got out of [plugin~].
I'm not sure this is a very good approach to using the [plugin~] external
this i don't know. but i also don't know whether we are talking about the same thing here.
and I'm surprised you don't know about the following schema that Tim Vets posted
why? i don't use [plugin~], how am i supposed to know?
which is much more simple than needing a manual on 'grep' for getting correct control names:
where does the "manual grep" come into play? it seems like i missed it, and i have no idea why anyone would need to use "grep" here.
[0
| [control #n $1( | [plugin~ svf]where n is the number of the parameter (so #1 or #2 or #3 ..etc)
isn't this much clearer and 'somewhat' more intuitive?
i don't know.
i personally find it highly non-intuitive to use the numeric id of a control-port. i seem to remember that in the given example there was an "Amplitude" control, but i have no idea which number this was. thus, i would prefer to use [control Amplitude $1( rather than [control 2 $1(
maybe [plugin~] should count control ports and use this <#n> instead?
i don't think i understand what you mean. do you think the output with [info( should be "port 12 in control Frequency Ratio 0 10" (in the case that the "Frequency Ratio" control is really #12)?
you can do this simply by adding a counter to the patch.
anyhow, personally i don't think that the info-interface of [plugin~] is particularily cleverly done.
if a Pd user needs a semester of 'how to use grep' in order to send
again, why "grep"?
i never used this object before. i only made it not crash any more. i probably will never use it again.
then you should probably be glad for this sort of feedback? isn't this all helping the Pd devs to chase down these bugs so they can be resolved?
i was merely volunteering to fix a bug where a lot of people have been whining for ages.
of course i'm happy if people help fixing a problem (even if it's not mine)
