Thank you, I got the point, that help-files in the context-menu of an object are not necessariely linked to the correspondig "doc.Resource". Yes,- I´am using the counter described in "cyclone". In "test4" the counter was working like in the "markex" -help-file shown. "/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test7.app/Contents/Resources/doc/5.reference/ cyclone/counter.pd" "/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test7.app/Contents/Resources/doc/5.reference/ markex/counter-help.pd"

in Pd-0.39.2-extended-test7 msg 'reset' and 'clear' doesn?t work as before. error: counter: no method for 'reset' ... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu. error: counter: no method for 'clear'
is there a new help-file available?
Which [counter] are you using? There are many [counter] objects and they are incompatible, so many in fact, that I would advise against using any of these at all!
Better use [f ]x[+ 1] or [f ]x[+ 1]x[mod 16] if you know what I mean.

You *may* be able to use a specific counter by giving it a path like [markex/counter] or [cyclone/counter]. But I didn't test this and it may still be that one overwrites the other.
As there are several incompatible [counter] externals, I really would recommend to avoid them all and replace them with a custom one built with internal objects. Attached counting tutorial may give you a start. Then you could just build a counter you like, give it a personal name like jukka-counter.pd and replace all counters you use with that one, for example using an object replacement script as describe in the "tips and tricks" page on puredata.info

That's nice, too bad I didn't have this advice a year ago. Back then I just started VJing, my patches weren't put together that well, then I got a new version of pd-extended and it broke all my counters (I was using the one from GEM). It took me a week to fix all my broken abstractions!!!
Now I know enough python, that I could probably have found a way to replace the [counter] objects automatically with some other abstraction, using some script, but I wasn't prepared to do that back then.
Actually, it would be cool to have a repository for Python scripts to do this kind of thing, and other useful PD-related tasks. I'm doing little scripts using python image library that are very useful preparing images for Gem. But maybe anybody who cares can already do it themselves, I don't know...

I'm sure i don't know, as i've never script Python and don't use Gem
(yet). What do they do? It would/could be interesting to know how you
work when vj'ing. - if you care to share.
