hello there
- is the pd-list the best place to ask basic gem questions, or should
they be sent to gem-dev?
it is perfect. gem-dev is rather for development-issues and in-depth-questions.
- is there a way to make the Gem output window come to the front and
sit on top of the other open pd windows? i can't move the window, and i know that's because you can only control that with the 'position' command to gemwin (will that ever change?? it'd be nice to be able to drag it around...). but if i'm doing a fullscreen thing with gem, then
i think this is a problem with how pd works together with osX-gui (they don't go together very well). there have been attemtps (e.g. by jamie) to come around this limitation, and as i understand it, these will be included in future versions of pd.
- all of the tutorials have all of their toggle switches set to the OFF
order to get the screen to go to its clear default OFF state. is there a way to have all of the gemhead's *really* start in the OFF state? i
well, [gemhead]s are by default ON. there is no way to turn them off by default. [toggle]s are by default OFF. however, they can be set to "init", which propagates their state on startup: this is similar to "loadbang"; what it means is, that the state displayed in the [toggle] matches the state of the [gemhead]. (in short: edit the properties of each toggle and set it to "init")
- i get lots and lots of errors when i use pix_image and pix_film with
changed, or is there already an easy way around this besides actually going and changing all of my images to the same size?
there used to be [pix_resize] object, but a) i don't know if it is really working (i guess it is not), and b) it will only enlarge images to the next power-of-2 (this is not exactly what you want)
and no, i don't plan to change the restriction that images need to be equal sized for mixing but yes, [pix_resize] will probably be fixed.
