Hi,
Can anybody explain what these warning messages mean, appearing on the Pd console at startup when I use GEM?:
warning: class 'pix_filmQT' overwritten; old one renamed 'pix_filmQT_aliased' warning: class 'pix_movieDS' overwritten; old one renamed 'pix_movieDS_aliased' warning: class 'pix_videoDS' overwritten; old one renamed 'pix_videoDS_aliased'
Should I worry about them?
The strangest thing is that the very same version of GEM can give these errors for example on a Vista machine and not on a Windows XP machine. Isn't it weird?
no. it gives the warning with Pd>=0.42 and it doesn't give the error with older Pd-versions (in those aged versions, you couldn't overwrite a class) there has been loads of discussion whether this is a bug or a feature (imho, it really is the latter; but it is a rather annoying feature, that probably does more harm than good; but otoh, i have learned to live with it and i can see a lot of potential...)
as for worrying: Gem>=0.92 should work fine, even if you get these warnings.
