Hi, I'm brand-new with PD. I'm on Tutorial "03.connections", and I'm a firm believer in not advancing to the next level of complexity until you fully understand the level you're on. So....
The first bit of text in the Tutorial says that input to the rightmost inlet causes the function do be done. However, what follows is an example of an addition object that only executes when the leftmost inlet receives input. (The rightmost input acts as an argument for the operation in this case.)
So, my question is this: is there something special about the "+" object that makes it an exception to the "rightmost" rule all the time, or is there something special about the way it's set up that makes it an exception to the rule?
Thanks in advance for helping a novice! rs
Hmmm, I remember someone writing about this 2 years or so ago, and I forgot to fix it: "rightmost" should have been "leftmost" in the text!
fixed now (in my copy at least...) won't emerge until 0.37-2 though.

hi
are you talking about this?:
"2.3.3. hot and cold inlets and right to left outlet order
With few exceptions (notably "timer"), objects treat their leftmost inlet as "hot" in the sense that messages to RIGHT inlets can result in output messages."
I don't know, why here is written "RIGHT".
I'm not an absolute pd-crack, but the [+ ] behaves like a normal object. Normally the right inlet acts as an argument and the left inlet let the object output something (as you found out with the [+ ]-object.
good luck

Because I don't know left from right. Sorry, will fix.

It's the computer's "right", after all, not the user's. Am I the only one who got this subtle joke? In addition, the only existing pure data is that which has never departed the computer. Also, the answer to "what do you get when you multiply six by nine" is indeed fourty-two, in base thirteen.

hi all
i am sending a path via OSC from python. the format is like this : D:\mysound.wav
But looks like PD doesnt like the backslash very much. any hints?
Same about empty spaces. It would be good if this problem with PD handling the empty spaces properly would be fixed in some future PD version. anyone knows some work around for this?
sorry if this has been discussed on the list before. I seached the list but couldnt find solutions to both problems on prev emails.
thanks
You can help Pd by formatting your path var with forward slashes:
# Python path = path.replace("\", "/");
Once you've used [OSCroute] to get the pathname with spaces, use ZEXY's [tosymbol] before forwarding it on to the rest of your patch.
I did some testing and this is working fine for me with stefan kersten's OSC.py (http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~kerstens/pub/)
Let me know if you'd like examples.
