hi everyone,

is there a similar object to the coll object in pd ?
im trying to save preferences for a patch.. is this possible ??

also does anyone know of a way to have a specified folder
preselected in the "openpanel" object.. at the moment it
always opens in the same dir as the saved pd file.. id like
to create browsable folders/filesystem for selecting files
whilst performing..

any ideas would be great.. ta!

While this is not specific to Pure Data, it does contain a section on working with Wiring and Arduino devices.

Just thought others might find this interesting...

Yeah, really cool. Lets make that the t-shirt for pd~conv 2009!

  
Anyway, in accordance with what you said bang-until is the one that
is in the 0.1% of "worth thinking about safety" issues, precisely
because it does not cause a stack overflow.
    

I think, that now, that the "negative numbers" bug of [until] where
negative numbers acted like a bang, is fixed in the next Pd, maybe we
should tell beginners that they can send a number into Pd when they
are unsure if their patch is stopping [until] correctly. Maybe we
should even *preach* to send numbers instead of a bang into [until] in
general? If you use a large enough number, it's "almost the same" as a
bang except that it will stop by itself at some point.

[textfile] is the most similar object to coll in Pd. If you also
include externals, then you could also look into pool, msgfile, pbank
or of course the Lua loader.

  
im trying to save preferences for a patch.. is this possible ??
    

[sssad] can be used for this, where to save to is yur choice -
textfile, msg, pool, coll, all work. Memento is another system for
state saving, which requires [pool] and [OSCroute].

  
also does anyone know of a way to have a specified folder
preselected in the "openpanel" object.. at the moment it
always opens in the same dir as the saved pd file.. id like
to create browsable folders/filesystem for selecting files

Send a "symbol /my/path" to [openpanel] instead of a bang. You may be
interested in reading the help-file for openpanel. ;)

I seem to be tuning in a little late, in this discussion, but if it's
a bad problem, couldn't you change the method of until to use only
floats?

hi,
i uploaded it to the mediapool:
https://wiki.puredata.info/mediapool/Special:Imagelist
the name is "makenote.png", no tilde etc. (for tilde one could use - instead [inside of filenames]?)
with "makefile.png / en" i meant:
https://wiki.puredata.info/en/makenote
georg


marius schebella:
hi,
I'm not seeing your file. did you upload it to the mediapool? I know that there are problems with special characters. for example tilde (~) is afaik not working. (so that would be great to fix, seems to be a major wiki issue). but besides that image upload should work.
the image upload for the individual languages is turned off, to make all images accessible in all languages. maybe that is what you mean with makefile.png / en?
marius.

hi,

i'm wondering why the image-upload in pdpedia isn't working. if the
description consists of the comments in the help-patches anyway,
screenshots would be much more readable. I uploaded one file, but
couldn't get it to be displayed (makefile.png / en). Is there anything i
could help with (perl/php etc.)?

oh, wait, now I get it.  You should send a message back to until to
stop the loop at some point--that's why it loops until some condition
is met.

But this is the whole point of discussions like this. It is NOT to fix a FEATURE of PD, but to give warnings as what NOT to do to shoot yourself in the foot.

If you know NOT to connect up a [bang( -> [until] without some sort of termination means, then you won't do it... Or if you really need to experience it first hand, then by all means do it. You probably will never do it again...

Besides, this object is so old that to make a change like this would probably break a large portion of PD patches that use [until].
