- 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?
that's exactly. it is actually a symbol, but I can't explain it that well
as the pd masters. that's also what is written in the canvas properties
window.
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.
no, it is much simpler than that. the patch is made so that no editing is
necessary. you type the name in the symbol field and press enter. that
would be
- click on the "Receive" field
- type test2 and press enter
- do the same for the send field, when necessary (with the other name)
if you changed the properties of the symbols you have to put them back in
order for the patch to work. as I said, it isn't necessary (and not
wished) to edit the patch to work with it.
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)?
I work with 0.39, but that's not the point (it will be when I implement
Frank B's sollutions). actually this is fully compatible, no exts as well.
