Hi

Can I just check where the other gui plugins go? I dropped them in a folder called start up in /usr/local/lib/pd-externals and get the following errors in the console- thanks for any tips

---------
UNHANDLED ERROR: couldn't open "/usr/local/lib/pd/startup/object_tags.tcllist": no such file or directory

   while executing
"open [file join $::sys_libdir startup object_tags.tcllist]"

   ("uplevel" body line 42)
   invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $tclcode"

I just fixed this in SVN, try again. You need to put both files into your externals folder: object_db-plugin.tcl and object_tags.tcllist. This would be awesome to see using the meta info included in the library's meta file and help patches.

I checked in a new version of this plugin which works for me:

https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk/scripts/guiplugins/simple_examples/insert_into_popup_menu-plugin.tcl

-----------
(Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name "pdtk_pd_meters"

   while executing
"pdtk_pd_meters 0 0 0 0"
   ("uplevel" body line 1)
   invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $cmd_from_pd"

Miller removed the meters from Pure Data/Vanilla, so this is only useful with Pd-extended.
