Hello PD list,
Further to that response I gave about problems with OSC.
I'd like to make a feature request/bug report: when you try to create a dumpOSC object using a port which is already in use, PD acts as if the object cannot be created - it renders the box with a dashed outline and reports the error "...couldn't create". This is actually very confusing as the user then assumes that PD can't find the object code and tries to solve the problem by checking library paths etc.
A better way of handling this error would be if the dumpOSC object, upon finding that it can't attach to a port, sends an error message to that effect to the PD console.
Any thoughts?
Cheers, Richard
