Hey all, I've been fixing quite a lot of bugs in preparation of making the Pd- extended 0.40.3 release. It's getting pretty much ready, so please
test it heavily so we can find any outstanding bugs! Jack just pointed out that pdp on Mac OS X/PowerPC is having problems loading videos, and is crashing, so I am working on that now. .hchi Hans
i have been happily working with pd-0.40-extended (20080222) for quite a while. there are some issues though.
Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080504-macosx104-i386 on a osx 10.5.2
- at the moment if one modifies the preferences of i.e. vanilla pd
the pd-extended looses all path and startup preferences (this is on osx i don't know about win or linux).
i would like to propose that ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist will be completely ignored by pd-extended. instead only the org.puredata.pd.plist inside the pd-extended app should be used. this way one could have different working setups. what do you think?
I think people want to save preferences for Pd-extended too. The current situation isn't great, that's true. If people want separate preferences, that might be a possibility in a future Pd-extended release.
ah i forgot that the file inside the app is not save-able
- as i reported earlier
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-01/058787.html some objects can't create. i think that all of them are know problems. for me not be able to use <~ and >~ is _most_ annoying (hexloader-something?). i know there are workarounds with expr. not including iem-t3 lib is a loss but i can live without it. thou it makes around 5 nice netpd patches not usable anymore.
You can now file bug reports from the Help menu in Pd-extended. Please file a bug report for this.
i wrote a bug report for iem_t3
i'm not sure about the hexloader. i found this: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1637460&gro... should i file a new bug report?
- help files
most help files worked (could create) but some:
iemmatrix/matrix-help.pd mtx ... couldn't create
mrpeach/packOSC-help.pd packOSC ... couldn't create
sssad/sssad-help.pd sssad key ... couldn't create libdir_loader: added sssad to the canvas-local path sssad key ... couldn't create
i wondered why some help files worked and some not. i thought it was done by org.puredata.pd.plist settings. so i added sssad <key>loadlib40</key> <string>sssad</string> restarted pd, but the help files still couldn't create.
please file bug reports for each of these.
done
- name clash
[curve] Gem vs. mapping probably some more
Yeah, that's been around a lot time.
what are the goals? which externals are supposed to work on default? are that the ones in the plist? maybe we should focus on them (before i start to open all help files :) )
The goal is to fine bugs and fix them :). Some of the bigger well-known problems will have to wait until the next release. The externals in the plist should work without a namespace prefix. All included externals should work.
uhm . now i filed bug reports for helpfiles of externals that are not on the plist. but they work with namespace prefix (except iem_t3)
thanks for all your work and thanks to all the other devs too!
Thanks for your bug reports and your work with Pd!

Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It's a tactic. It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and expect we're going to win that war. We're not going to win the war on terrorism. - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
