Hi!
I tried many things, but I still get no connection and an "error: unpack: type mismatch" changing any number/slider in cnv-edit.

all editing of gui objects works only through send messages. You must give your canvas(es) a receive [and send] symbol first (if you don't have them already).
What I did:
- Open cnv-edit and a new empty patch.
- Put a canvas
- Edited the send-symbol field of the canvas to "test1"
- Edited the receive-symbol field of the canvas to "test2"
Is this what you mean by giving a receive/send symbol? You don't mean a pd "symbol" (ctrl-4), don't you?
Then you must type that receive symbol in the
receive symbol field in cnv-edit. That's the connection of the patches.
I changed the receive symbol _field_ in the symbol labeled "Receive" from "$0-receive-i" to "test1". Is this what you propose? It looks strange, I think I should change the send field, but anyhow, both changes don't work. I tried to change the Receive-symbol in the "Symbols.of.the.target.object" - no results as well...
English is not my mutter language (more like cousin language), if you want you can suggest a simple phrase to explain how to make the connection.
Don't worry - your English is fine. I think I'm doing something wrong here - it seems like I'm the only one with problems here. Which pd do you need for cnv-edit (maybe that's the point)?
br, Piotr
