hi Hans
i have been happily working with pd-0.40-extended (20080222) for quite a
while. there are some issues though.
Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080504-macosx104-i386 on a osx 10.5.2
-----------------
1) at the moment if one modifies the preferences of i.e. vanilla pd the
pd-extended looses all path and startup preferences (this is on osx i
don't know about win or linux).
i would like to propose that ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist
will be completely ignored by pd-extended. instead only the
org.puredata.pd.plist inside the pd-extended app should be used.
this way one could have different working setups. what do you think?
-----------------
2) as i reported earlier
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-01/058787.html
some objects can't create. i think that all of them are know problems.
for me not be able to use ~ is _most_ annoying
(hexloader-something?). i know there are workarounds with expr.
not including iem-t3 lib is a loss but i can live without it. thou it
makes around 5 nice netpd patches not usable anymore.
-----------------
3) help files
most help files worked (could create) but some:
iemmatrix/matrix-help.pd
mtx
... couldn't create
mrpeach/packOSC-help.pd
packOSC
... couldn't create
sssad/sssad-help.pd
sssad key
... couldn't create
libdir_loader: added sssad to the canvas-local path
sssad key
... couldn't create
i wondered why some help files worked and some not. i thought it was
done by org.puredata.pd.plist settings. so i added sssad
loadlib40
sssad
restarted pd, but the help files still couldn't create.
-----------------
4) name clash
[curve] Gem vs. mapping
probably some more
-----------------
what are the goals? which externals are supposed to work on default? are
that the ones in the plist? maybe we should focus on them (before i
start to open all help files :) )
-----------------
thanks for all your work and thanks to all the other devs too!
