Hi listers~
I'm trying to use cyclone/counter to manipulate video. I know all about making your own counters and such, but at this point I just want something to play my videos with the methods included in the cyclone counter, so why reinvent the wheel, right? (Especially when doing updown counting, anyone w/ an elegant, no spaghetti solution?)
So I came across a bug, in that setting the min value of the counter has no effect, it always ranges between zero and the max value. I am using Pd-0.39.2-extended-rc1 on OS X 10.4.9.
hmm, i do not know the Max [counter], but cyclone usually tries to imitate all bugs found in the original objects.
as for setting "min" it works fine, if you use a [min $1( message. using the 3rd inlet does do something: it sets the current counter value (but without outputting it immediately like inlet4; so you have to bang it to see an effect).
this is clearly not as it is described in the help-patch, but probably the original Max [counter] and it's help patch have the same inconsistency.
apart from that, i noticed that the counter-help.pd is buggy anyhow, since the [min( and [max( messages are documented via the [min] and [max] objects, which definitely does not lead to the desired result.
so: does krzysztof still maintain cyclone? (haven't heard from him since some time) can someone confirm the correct behaviour of [counter]? it would be simple to fix (and even more so the help-patch)
