oh does it ? i think that's the 3rd time in the last week i am writing to pd-related lists (once to gem-dev, one to pd-list (or was it pd-dev ??) about this very behaviour of [print].
I found:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2005-09/030947.html
"there is definitely i limit in [print]; there might be a limit in the symbol-length but i never found one (the longest symbol i ever made was some 20.000 chars long)"
The bug/feature I found concerns symbol lists, where the second symbol is cut if it exceeds appr. 100 characters. Thus, I didn't see any link to your comment about a limit of 20.000 chars and my bug report.
Is this a feature, a bug, is it documented, why not cut the first symbol
i think none of them (i guess it's a safety check against locking the connection between pd and pd-gui; so that would be a feature if you have stability in mind; for most others it might appear a bug)
OK. I think, this behaviour should be mentioned in print-help.pd. What is the right branch to check-in this kind of changes? (I've never contributed to pd CVS)
br, Piotr
PS: @Hannes: sorry being unsubscribed to gem-dev and pd-dev lists. I'm sure you contribute to any many other discussions which I neither read nor understand. I'm just a pd user and I know it - there's no need to remind me about that...
