Hi,
I use pd (ext) since several years, and first of all, congratulation
and thanks for this great project!
Here are some bugs and problems I experienced. I run PD on Ubuntu
Oneiric, and also tried it on another computer on Maverick...
These bugs are present in the download from april 11th.
- the text around vu-meters is covered by them. (I run pd in
french, maybe it has something to do: 'entrées' 'sorties' (in,
out) ).
- Settings save: I understand now why it isn't possible to save
paths/libs anymore, but I also cannot save other settings, like
edit modes, or verbose level...
- On Maverick, déjà-vu sans mono is not found, but installed on
the system...
- There is a bug with [knob] Gui object: when editing
preferences, and then apply or 'ok', nothing happens and pref
windows is stuck... Have to close pd and reopen, then the
changes are effective. Here is the log:
(Tcl) ERREUR NON GÉRÉE : expected integer but got "Sans"
(processing "-font" option)
invoked from within
".x9ae7ae0.c itemconfigure 9ae1a48LABEL -font {DejaVu Sans Mono 8
bold} -fill #000000 -text {} "
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $cmds_from_pd"(Tcl) ERREUR NON GÉRÉE : expected integer
but got "Sans"
(processing "-font" option)
invoked from within
".x9ae7ae0.c itemconfigure 9ae1a48LABEL -font {DejaVu Sans Mono 8
bold} -fill #000000 -text {} "
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $cmds_from_pd"
- Then, there is a big point, that have been already discussed
many times: autoconnect sound/midi in jack should really be
disabled, or made it possible to choose. Midi autoconnects with
all clients, and we have to 'disconnect all' before patching as
desired. Same with sound: sometimes, I use pd to make sound in a
basic way, and just output on channels 1 - 2, but most of the
time, I use it as a plugin, or inserted between several other
jack-applications, with particular jack patches. The patchbay
from qjackctl save my desired connection, and I should only
start my apps and let the connections make themselves. The patch
is the power of jack, and autoconnect goes against this
philosophy. Also, maybe one day pd will be compatible with
ladish/jack-session (the future of jack!).
- Of course, I didn't tested everything, but most of my old
patches seems to work on 0.43.1...
hope this will be helpful...
