Hey all,
I've been fixing quite a lot of bugs in preparation of making the Pd- extended 0.40.3 release. It's getting pretty much ready, so please
test it heavily so we can find any outstanding bugs!Jack just pointed out that pdp on Mac OS X/PowerPC is having problems
loading videos, and is crashing, so I am working on that now..hc
hi Hans
i have been happily working with pd-0.40-extended (20080222) for quite a while. there are some issues though.
Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080504-macosx104-i386 on a osx 10.5.2
- at the moment if one modifies the preferences of i.e. vanilla pd the
pd-extended looses all path and startup preferences (this is on osx i don't know about win or linux).
i would like to propose that ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist will be completely ignored by pd-extended. instead only the org.puredata.pd.plist inside the pd-extended app should be used. this way one could have different working setups. what do you think?
- as i reported earlier
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-01/058787.html some objects can't create. i think that all of them are know problems. for me not be able to use <~ and >~ is _most_ annoying (hexloader-something?). i know there are workarounds with expr. not including iem-t3 lib is a loss but i can live without it. thou it makes around 5 nice netpd patches not usable anymore.
- help files
most help files worked (could create) but some:
iemmatrix/matrix-help.pd mtx ... couldn't create
mrpeach/packOSC-help.pd packOSC ... couldn't create
sssad/sssad-help.pd sssad key ... couldn't create libdir_loader: added sssad to the canvas-local path sssad key ... couldn't create
i wondered why some help files worked and some not. i thought it was done by org.puredata.pd.plist settings. so i added sssad <key>loadlib40</key> <string>sssad</string> restarted pd, but the help files still couldn't create.
- name clash
[curve] Gem vs. mapping probably some more
what are the goals? which externals are supposed to work on default? are that the ones in the plist? maybe we should focus on them (before i start to open all help files :) )
thanks for all your work and thanks to all the other devs too!
