Hey Pd-list, OS X users,
Sometimes you good people post patches that when i open them are
vertically "too big" to be displayed on my screen. What happens is,
that i cant see all of the patch and there is no scroll bar.
When a patch is "too big" in the vertical direction but the window
has been small enough for me to reach the resize corner. Then i can
enter edit mode, resize the window a bit, and then a/the scroll bar
appears, which solves my problem.
When the patch and the window is too big to be displayed, i can't
reach the resize corner, hence can do the above to make the scroll
bar appear. - What could i do to solve this (except wiping OS X for
something else), what do you do?
It's a Macbook running 10.4.8 and Pd-Extended.
it's a known thing and reguary on this list..
edit the patch with a editor (TextEdit will do) and modify the first
line by hand
for example
#N canvas 62 417 726 321 10;
make the size fit your screen there.
hope it helps, max

On Linux many Window Managers like Blackbox support resizing through other operations as well. In Blackbox I can Alt-Rightclick anywhere into a window to resize it freely. Maybe OS-X has some similar hotkeys? I think these operations are very useful especially in Pd to quickly resize (sub)patches without having to search and hit the window border exactly. I'm so slooow at this.

Unfortunately, this isn't the case as far as I've known. It's one of my primary gripes about OSX's otherwise beautiful interface. Maybe for their next release???

Hallo, I found this to deal with that: http://www.atomicbird.com/mondomouse/
Haven't bought it, but I used it for a live show where I had to use a friend's laptop who had a smaller screen than mine (and thus all my patches suffered this issue). Worked great.

Yeah, i'm used to a fork of EvilVM called PapuaWM which had very
flexible resizing possibilities f.x. via keyboard shortcuts.
