Hi pd amigos! Well I'm slowly starting to make progress with my pd/gem toys, thanks to miller et al I am spending many hours infront of the computer :-)
I have a quick question for those who are a bit more experienced with pd.
I found a few example pd patches in the mail list archive in what looks like a raw text format, similar to when a max patch is saved as text. I copy and pasted the text into notepad (working on windoze currently!) and I saved this file with the extension *.pd. Unfortunately when I try to open them in pd the file selector doesnt show them.
Is there some kind of import button and if not any ideas how I can load the patches?
Kind Regards

You did right, it's what I do (on Linux) all the time. But I remember from quick-editing html pages at work with Notepad, that this sh*ty little program puts a ".txt" suffix on every file it edits. So you could either:
a) use a real text editor like Vim (vim.org) or b) closely examine the saved file in the Explorer (with "show endings for known file types" or so turned ON) and rename it to somefile.pd
This should help.

Hi
Turn 'hide file extensions for known file types' (explorer -> tools -> folder options -> view -> advanced settings) off.
You've probably made a 'patch.pd.txt' file. You can avoid that by selecting 'Save as type: All files' when saving in notepad.
hope this helps, j#|@
