hallo!

I have no problem of file path with pix_write?
I observe the same problem with memory, I think it's a problem of pix_image & pix_multiimage ?
(both crash pd and I don't have to wait for a long time...)
I make some test with pix_buffer, but the problem is when you want to create buffer with loot of images....
and for that pix_image is cool because the frames dont stay in the memory (in theory? maybe this cause the crash?)

P.s: nice trick to control the pix_write index :)
p.p.s : I'm on Osx 10.5 using pd-0.41.4-extended-20090413

hi list,

i've thrown together this tiny gem patch which makes a timelapse slideshow.
i have encountered a few issues with it.

configuration:
Pd version 0.41.4-extended-20090223
GEM: ver: 0.91.3 'tigital'
GEM: compiled: Feb 23 2009
OS X 10.5.6

the issues:
1. pix_write doesn't interpret the file path correctly. it seems it can't understand relative paths at all.

2. pix_write accepts a message [file <file> [<type>](. it creates files with a .jpg ending if the type is >0. But in reality it still is a TIFF. no matter what value you write.

3. pix_write creates files with an acending number 0...9999 this conflicts with how other objects like pix_multiimage do it (00000...99999)

just submitted that to the gem bugtracker.


and the patch:
put this to / because of the bug in pix_write to make it work. put a folder called "frames" beside it.







beware: this patch will also eat up all the memory and will crash pd. this isn't pix_writes problem though - i'll try to find out why this is now.

max
