this is what should have been done to fix the problem, and which i
didn't find time to do.

so in the end, it worked out exactly as i imagined:
- i added a more verbose output
- the new output hinted at a problem in the arg parsing
- someone got annoyed by the output
- the underlying problem was fixed

so i'm not sure whether there is a problem with the way i did.

Re: [PD-dev] pdwindow as syslog

 Hey IOhannes,
 
 I was just looking thru your pdwindow.tcl procs.  It seems to me that
 those procs should just go all the way and implement a syslog-style
 system with the same levels.  Then the Pd window could have a little
 dropdown menu on the lower left to select which level to show.

the pdwindow::verbose{} functionality is modelled after pd's verbose()
functionality.
assuming that most Pd devs will have more experience with Pd's posting
mechanisms than with a platform depending syslog functionality, it made
way more sense to use verbose than syslog.

if the only reason to change the name to syslog is, that the mechanism
reminds you remotely on that used by syslog, i would kindly ask to
change it back.

 
 Attached is my failed attempt at defining the functions.  Also, about
 the tags for colorizing things, I think your syslog level tags and the
 alternating linecolor? tags should be applied to all lines, not
 depending on which proc is used.  Then different plugins or modes can
 colorize the text.  Otherwise, it'll be just a big mishmash of colors.

please bear in mind that english is not my mother tongue.
...oh, it seems like the linecolor? does not finish the sentence.

then, i don't see what you mean: the public functions are
::pdwindow::verbose{}, ::pdwindow::error{}  ::pdwindow::post{} are the
public functions that all set the corresponding tags.

so my argueing is, that tags should be applied to all text (which they
currently are), depending on which category a text belongs to.
the category is given implicitly by the proc that is used to print the
message. thus the tags are depending on which proc is used.

what i did change was to only call the colorizing code for a tag once,
and not each time something was printed. (which is somewhat useless and
 only adds additional ressources)

 As for me, I think just a subtle alternating color per post, not
 per-line.  Then error posts would have a sublte red background.

It seems, that a [declare -stdpath] of pd-gui-rewrite expands the search pathes 
relative to the patch's location instead of relative to pd's installation 
location.

Ah, ok, it wasn't clear to me that you had an intention of fixing it.   
Agreed on the font warning.  I'd like to keep it there for a while to  
get some more info on how it affects people, but for the final  
release, people shouldn't see it unless there is an actual problem.

While there is a verbose() function defined in s_print.c, it is  
literally never used in the pd source.  That's why I changed the name,  
I didn't realize verbose() existed.  It is used lightly in some  
externals.  If you really want it to be called verbose(), go for it.



Attached is my failed attempt at defining the functions.  Also, about
the tags for colorizing things, I think your syslog level tags and  
the

alternating linecolor? tags should be applied to all lines, not
depending on which proc is used.  Then different plugins or modes can

...oh, it seems like the linecolor? does not finish the sentence.


linecolor? is the tag name, ie linecolor0, linecolor1.  I think the  
tag should be renamed alternatingpost0, alternatingpost1 and have it  
based on post rather than line.



then, i don't see what you mean: the public functions are
::pdwindow::verbose{}, ::pdwindow::error{}  ::pdwindow::post{} are

and not each time something was printed. (which is somewhat useless  
and

IIRC, one function was posting with the linecolor0/1 tags and the  
other with the verbose/syslog style tags.  I am saying all posts  
should have both a linecolor/alternatingpost tag and a verbose/syslog  
level tag.

An example patch is always very helpful, especially if it triggers the
problem every time that it is run.  Ideally the example patch would have
only enough objects to cause the problem, but nothing else.
