hola,

i'm not sure that playlist is the culprit here,
after some debugging, i managed to narrow, narrow it down to this :

if you open the GOP patch attached
and goes in the main window and do close
with the subatch opened,
it crashes too.. with pd 0.39 and 0.40.

and this patch doesn't have any playlist...

but still, i don't deny the patch with playlist crashes too...

saludos,
sevy

I am so sorry, I have sort of misreported here.. I have narrowed it
down now. Seems that it's a particular gop I have that is causing the
crash. Within that gop, what is causing the crash is yves' playlist
object having a message box attached to it.

I have attached a stripped down version of the gop to demonstrate the
error. It seems that what causes the error, at least for me, is
having any kind of message box connected to the [playlist] object,
then closing the patch and saying yes to discarding the changes. I
have attached the example. In its current state it will not crash pd
after you create it and close the window. Connect any of the message
boxes or the toggle, save it, create it again and it will give you the
crash when you close the window - at least it does for me. I should
also note that it only happens when this is a gop. I tried connecting
a message box to a playlist object in a normal patch and it didn't
crash when I closed it and discarded changes.

This is a weird bug. As for the logic on why this crashes I have no
idea. Please let me know if there are any log files I can check to
clarify this for you. In miller's 0.40, the crash doesn't happen at
all with the gop abstraction.

I am sorry to take two emails to get this right (twice really because
my last bug rept about vectral~ needed clarification as well). From
here on I will think twice or thrice and hone my deductive reasoning
before posting about bugs.

Hi Hans,

I think that this version is crashing when I edit a patch that uses
gops, and then close the window - it asks if I want to discard the
changes, and I click yes, then it closes out pd entirely. This only
appears to happen when the main patch involves gops - not when it's
just regular objects I think. I don't think I noticed this with rc3 -
did you ever answer my last question (sorry if it didn't get through
to you) which was whether this debian packaged rc4 included code
updates over rc3 or whether it is rc4 by virtue of being a deb package
alone?

The package is totally sweet, it integrates so much more nicely in the
system, but I am restarting pd a lot these days because of this little
bug ;) I am working almost exclusively with gops now.

Is there a log or a way I can maybe give you some more useful info
aside from my personal testimony? Can anyone else verify this?

Kevin
