Hi,
Can anybody explain what these warning messages mean, appearing on the Pd console at startup when I use GEM?:
warning: class 'pix_filmQT' overwritten; old one renamed 'pix_filmQT_aliased' warning: class 'pix_movieDS' overwritten; old one renamed 'pix_movieDS_aliased' warning: class 'pix_videoDS' overwritten; old one renamed 'pix_videoDS_aliased'
Should I worry about them?
The strangest thing is that the very same version of GEM can give these errors for example on a Vista machine and not on a Windows XP machine. Isn't it weird?
thanks m.

no. it gives the warning with Pd>=0.42 and it doesn't give the error with older Pd-versions (in those aged versions, you couldn't overwrite a class) there has been loads of discussion whether this is a bug or a feature (imho, it really is the latter; but it is a rather annoying feature, that probably does more harm than good; but otoh, i have learned to live with it and i can see a lot of potential...)
as for worrying: Gem>=0.92 should work fine, even if you get these warnings.

Ouch, yes, I now realise I may have had different Pd versions (though not different gem versions) installed on the different machines.

Great. Just out of curiosity however, what do the warning mean? Well ok, they mean a class has been overridden, but "why"? The classes mentioned in the error messages (pix_videoDS for example) don't exist in Pd, so it seems like they are defined twice in Gem?
I just would like to understand roughly what's going on...
thanks m.

yes.

so basically, if two objectclasses claim the same name, older versions of Pd would just ignore the second attempt to register a class with that name, whereas newer versions will happily give the name to the newer objectclass (but issuing a warning).
in Gem some names are used multiple times, because of either inheritance (one objectlcass being derived from other another objectclass; this is C++-talk....) or for compatibility reasons (e.g. using deprecated names).
it currently does work despite of the warnings, but i would like to get rid of such disturbing matters in the next release.

Ok it's clearer now. Thank you very much :)
