Hi, here are some more details, in no specific order:

- just saw now that gop borders can be dragged and resized manually. Very nice touch. Some suggestions:
 - border resizing for vertical/horizontal dimensions (not just all at once)
 - double-clicking the red square the settings window opens up.
 - select the border, and move it with the arrows or shift+arrow keys (as a normal object)
 - or a "select all + nodes" option, where the whole patch + gop box can be dragged

- I gather that the gui presets are in the bin/css files? If this file could be read/written in Pd, I could even write a GUI to edit them. But it seems that all those ; and , make it impossible for those files to be read/written in pd. I imagine that in case someone does a css editor, it would make sense to include it in the program, and not as a patch/external utility?
Nevertheless, is it possible to edit the css styles in realtime in purr-d?
 - or: is it possible to write a couple of lines on how to edit this (and maybe other things) using the devtools?
 - do you have any long-term plans regarding how to organize the costumization of the gui?

- midi settings save now, seems ok

- only now I noticed that labels can have spaces. From what I saw, it doesn't bother in ext/vanilla, except when one tries to edit the objects - then I get the error "(Tcl) UNHANDLED ERROR: wrong # args". Did you test this feature in the other pd flavours?

- there is a serious problem, the program can't open/write files in folders with a "ü" in the name (didn't test for other characters). Spaces don't seem to be a problem.

- are hsliders wider than in pd-ext? my abstraction [jmmmp/maat-~] appears cut, compared to the same in pd-ext. Functionality is ok, it's only the visual aspect.
Same applies to vsliders, also check [jmmmp/maat~].

- also serious, [soundfiler] doesn't seem to work correctly. While opening a file, it didn't read properly, maybe because the file isn't in 16b format (it worked well in pd-ext). Here are the file specs:
Dateityp:    44100 Hz, 32-Bit, Mono
Dateiformat:    Apple AIFF
    Apple AIFF 24-Bit gepackt
    It worked when I converted the file to 16b.

I'm trying to patch with it this week, so I might have more details to talk about.

Best,

Joao
