Hi, "#" characters become "$" when trying to put them into GUI labels, is there a good reason for it? Or should we just treat it as a bug and fix it?
cheers
This was fixed in pd-l2ork a while ago. Perhaps porting the patch may not be a bad idea?
Best,
Ico

you mean in pd-l2ork 1.0? With tcl? And what about the issue IOhannes mentioned?
Yes 1.x and by extension 2.x.
I haven't checked but am reasonably sure it handles those scenarios ok.

I stand corrected. If placing #1-blah in the receive of an iemgui object in pd-l2ork/purr-data, this reverts to $1-blah after applying... We need to note this on the bugtracker.

Great, now, I don't know how I can get that patch and send it to pure data as a pull request. Can anyone help me, give me instructions?

it's a (very stupid) hack to prevent "$" from being expanded by the tcl interpreter. (the iemguis - btw not only the labels but also the send/receive names)
- replace $ with # (rather than the other way round) to communicate
between GUI and Pd-core; after that, the symbols are transformed back - which is why the "#" (which wasn't transformed in the first place) gets replaced with "$"). the correct way would have been to just properly quote the dollars.
Or should we just treat it as a bug and fix it?
sure. before you start doing that, please detail your plan on how to not break all patches that rely on "#<number> from being expanded to "$<number>"
