Good to know!

Because I have over 300 hardware boxes out there and updating the system with a new software is too much for most musicians who are no programmers.

They can run software updates but system upgrades with a different Pd software or operating system is too much for most users.

So there is a chance it will bahave the same way as [MouseState].

I'll give it a try anyway

Thanks in any case for helping out!

Thanks, Alexandre!

I'll check out [else/button].

Is it working with Pd 0.49?

i guess it should

You had mentioned that some stuff in else is not working with the older Pd version.

yeah, current version is fully compatible to at least 0.51-3, but I guess most of it works with older versions, specially compiled objects (this one is a compiled GUI object).

I cannot update my Pd at the moment.

I wonder why

I might want to try the latest cyclone since my version is already 2 years old.

It also requires the latest Pd for it full compatibility by the way

[MouseState] on it's own has been working for 10 years perfectly and stops working as soon as I activate the kisok mode.

If I disable kiosk it works again. Strange - I wonder what causes it.

Maybe the latest cyclone version has the issue fixed already.

unlikely, but we can try and get to the bottom of this. I don't really know the kiosk plugin well though, and maybe it could also be the one to blame.

else/mouse is a simplified version of mousestate and there's also else/canvas.mouse, maybe you can try this last one too as it uses a different approach by listening to the Pd events.

cheers
