Dear List,
this is not too important but i wonder sometimes if...
1.) One could change the behavior of displaying hidden files and directories in open panels. This is esp. cumbersome when one steps through a /home directory. If this is a small change in the pd sources to change, i would love to know.
2.) Has anyone yet invented a sed/awk/whatever script to change the fontsizes of all pd patches in a given directory?
that's it! Have fun!
Peter
I have repeatedly asked for this, since I am not very *NIX saavy. Apparently no one else on the list is either! I find it funny that for having such vehement anti-commercial OS zealots on the list, no one has the skills to throw together such a simple item...unless they are too busy with important things like bickering against commercial software to help a few neophytes out.

you should watch your language!

if you are unhappy with the open source world, what are you doing here? or can it be that you yourself are also unable to "throw together such a simple item"? are you using open source because you cant afford commercial apps, besides grabbing them from donkey/mule? i mean, whats your reason to complain, if os and its "zealots" are so bad, but you are still using it?
~Kyle
people like you make os developers think twice if they should release stuff to the public - it may be if use for the wrong minded ones ....

I have all the respect in the world for OS development. I guess I was just a little frustrated with the recent mean-spirited nature coming from some of the list discussions, especially regarding implementations of FOSS on proprietary operating systems.
My snappy comment was out of place, and I apologize. I was responding to the vehemence of a previous thread, and it was childish to stoop to that level of obstinance.

Nothing wrong with FOSS and people who are passionate about it. If passion wasn't the motivator, it wouldn't get done, since no one's really getting paid for it.

It's "people like me" who like to see good innovation on all platforms, if only to draw more attention to the FOSS movement! Again, I was inappropriately responding to a previously inappropriate mood regarding developing/supporting on a proprietary OS.
I guess I thought that by using childish manipulation techniques, it would stir some egos enough to act on a heretofor unanswered question. It got a reaction alright!
I hope y'all can forgive my hot head.

The file dialog is Tk's built-in one and i don't think you can change much in it.
However it could be rewritten so that it gets a sane presentation, and I mean anything like Motif or Gtk or Qt: vertical scrollbar (not horizontal), user-defined filename filters,
Else I'm going to write a new file dialog for the DesireData project within the next month, which could easily be backported to PucketteData.
oh, and Tcl/Tk is so easy to learn compared to C, so if Kyle wants to give the file dialog coding a try it would be cool cause I would be able to concentrate on the 666 other things on my TODO list.

from comp.lang.tcl.. courtesy of 2mins in google groups..
TOPIC: tk_getOpenFile (Unix) and hidden directories
: Hi there, : looks like tk_getOpenFile is not able to hide hidden directories in unix, is : this a desired behaviour? : I would need to hide them in my application, does this mean that I need to : hack the tk_getOpenFile code?
It is quite easy to hack tk_getOpenFile code. It is in one tkfbox.tcl file. You can distribute modified tkfbox.tcl with your application and explicitely source it, thus preventing tcl to autoload original one.
It is much harder to push modifications into mainstream tcl distribution. ========

i would like that too. plus: -the ability of setting a start-directory in [openpanel] -the ability of setting an extension to show only a certain filetype.

this is simple; once i have commited a patch to the sourceforge patch-tracker that does this (individual (settable) paths for [openpanel]/[savepanel]) it didn't make it into pd-0.39 though (probably miller doesn't like it)
but feel free to check it out.
-the ability of setting an extension to show only a certain filetype.
i think this is something that cannot be done easily in a cross-platform way. (when doing the above patch, i - of course - wanted to add this feature too; but it turned out to be more work than i expected to make it really consistent and so i dropped it (it wasn't so important to me anyhow)

There is a sed script to do this in CVS packages/darwin_app/Makefile,
at about line 220:
sed -i.bak 's/^(#N canvas [0-9]* [0-9]* [0-9]* [0-9]*) 12/\1 10/' *.pd
The "12" is the current font size, and the "10" is the new font size.

that's it! Have fun!
