I get asked by people if Pd is ever coming out
of
beta.
Is that because of the version numbers ? They
always begin
with a zero.
But Gridflow goes up to 9. So just make sure to
install Gridflow with
Pd, and you should then be able to instantiate up to
nine "simple" objects
without Pd randomly crashing on you:
[import gridflow]
[metro] | [metro] | [metro] | [metro] | [metro] | [metro] | [metro] | [metro] | [metro] | [metro] <-- Warning: 10th metro object may crash
Pd
Wait, are you telling me that Pd doesn't got to 11?!? That must be fixed! But just created 10 linked metros and got no crash on Pd-extended 0.42.5 on Mac OSX 10.5.8.
Sorry, I should have put a disclaimer: complete hogwash!
I was just referring to the blog that started this thread, where the
complaint was that instantiating a simple [metro] object can crash Pd.
I don't think it is true, nor do I think that there's a
get-out-of-crash-free card for each integer above 0 in the GF numbering
system.
I made a patch once with a slider with range 0-11, but it only let you slide it up to 10, unless you click a [tgl] associated with it, to get one more. No matter what it's controlling, it's a lot of fun.
