[PD] automatic reporting
Hello everyone, I have a project which is working on an unattended Mac running pd-extended. All the patches I use have a reporting feature (they print out their name on the pd window output when they enter and when they exit, together with a timestamp). Is there any way I can make pd save the output on a file? I should be able to schedule it automatically at the end of each day. Any thoughts/ideas will be appreciated!

[PD] Path limit on Linux?
Hello everyone, I'm running pd on Ubuntu here, and it looks like there's a limit of ten different paths on the path menu. Is this true? How can I get more than these? Also, is it possible to export the path list somehow? Thanks! ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] turn a symbol to a message
Thank you all so much! Building the filename and passing it onto an [ open $1 ( message worked perfectly. One should know better by now, I should've thought of it... oh well. Hindsight is 20/20.

I've been pulling my hair out for a while with an inexplicable problem. I'm trying to build an [open file.wav( message to feed a [readsf~] object. A [makefilename] object is returning the exact symbol. I'm connecting it to a [$1( message, and then onto the [readsf~] object and I get the error: readsf~_ no method for 'open file.wav' If I replace the $1 message for the hard coded open file.wav, it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong? And yeah: Pd is missing a way to display the distinction between: 'open file.wav' - 'open file.wav' selector and: 'open' 'file.wav'- message with 'open' selector and 'file.wav' as first argument Both look the same, when printed. This indeed could be confusing. How about adding a 'debug' [print] option (-d?) to make [print] not decode incoming message, but make it print all the implicit stuff, that is usually hidden? Would that make sense? How would [print] resolve this ambiguity? Both messages above are handled by the print_anything method, which prints the selector + any atoms that make up the rest of the message. Plus if there's a way to clearly distinguish visually between these two messages, I'd rather see that solution applied to Pd as a whole, so that for instance symbols with spaces in them may be saved in a patch. In the meantime, it might be helpful to make an abstraction that breaks up an incoming message into its constituent parts. So one's output would look like this: selector: open file.wav arguments: while the the other's would look like this: selector: open arguments: file.wav But I don't think this should be the job of the [print] object. -Jonathan ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] delwrite~ with dynamic length
Hello, I'm trying to initialize a delwrite~ object with varying msec length. I don't seem to be able to pass the length as a variable and into the creation argument. Am I trying something horribly stupid, or is there a way to do that? Thanks ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

[PD] Hardware requirements (think big!)
Hi everyone, I'm working on a sound installation that is being made in pd alone. It's going to be running in 8 different rooms (8 output channels) for twelve hours a day, for at least a year. The budget allows for a reasonably powerful computer devoted just to this (most likely a Mac). I never did anything this big so I'm concerned about the minimum processor/memory requirements. Bear in mind that it's going to be mostly oscillators, audio files and MIDI. No input signal processing, no screens. Any thoughts/caveats? thanks Nacho ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] folders for abstractions
Hello everyone, I'm sort of a newbie to pd, and this is my first question here: Is there a way to have my abstractions in a separate folder than the one with the patches that use them? I'd like to have a subfolder with those, like a toolbox of sorts. Thanks! ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] folders for abstractions
Yup. Worked. Thanks!
