Quoting Piotr Majdak piotr@majdak.com:
"there is definitely i limit in [print]; there might be a limit in the symbol-length but i never found one (the
longest symbol i ever made was some 20.000 chars long)"
The bug/feature I found concerns symbol lists, where the second symbol
is cut if it exceeds appr. 100 characters. Thus, I didn't see any link
to your comment about a limit of 20.000 chars and my bug report.
actually we are talking about the same thing. the 20.000 characters which i tested have only been to illustrate that the symbol itself is not corrupted, just the [print]. and it has no answer to why the 1st "symbol" is not affected.
OK. I think, this behaviour should be mentioned in print-help.pd. What
is the right branch to check-in this kind of changes? (I've never contributed to pd CVS)
yes i agree that it should go into the documentation. however the policy is, that only miller has to rights to write to the main-trunk of pd in the CVS. so the best thing (i think) would be to submit a patch to the patch-tracker at the sourceforge site (assign it to miller if possible) miller goes them through now and then and accepts them or not.
PS: @Hannes: sorry being unsubscribed to gem-dev and pd-dev lists. I'm
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2005-09/030947.html
so it has been on the pd-list which i think you are subscribed to.
sure you contribute to any many other discussions which I neither read
of course it was stupid on my side to bring in other (totally unrelated) discussions. if i tell my girlfriend about the peculiarities of [print] is should not expect you (or anyone else) to know.
i am sorry for that.
nor understand. I'm just a pd user and I know it - there's no need to remind me about that...
i don't see how i would have "degraded" you to an ordinary pd-user (i consider myself one of this people)
