Re: [PD] Changing the defaul language in 0.43

Hans, Thanks for your reply and for the time taken to look into this.
For what it's worth, I'm seeing machines that have a locale value of
409, which should be US-English according to this and other tables
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms903928.aspx, still open Pd
in localized versions.

 I'm going to CC the list in case anyone else wants to change this value.

 Tcl looks at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\locale in 
 particular.  Its a number.  This is not Pd-specific, I imagine its used by 
 lots of apps, and perhaps even the system itself.  I wouldn't recommend 
 changing it directly, it might mess things up.  There should be a way to 
 change the Windows system so that it is set properly in English.

 If you really just want to force Pd-extended to be in English, the safest 
 route is to delete all the .msg files in  \Program Files\pd\po

 Hans, I'm replyting off-list so we don't burden the list with this.
 Attached are screenshots from the registry entries on two of the

 running in English, though I am not sure where that is set in the
 International settings.
 Some of the other machines (I'm waiting for their owners to mail the
 screenshots to me) have localeName set to en_US en location to US, but
 Pd still opens in Bulgarian.
 I'll send the other screenshots when I get them.

 Pd-extended should use the same language that the user is using.  If not, 
 its
 a bug.  Pd-extended on Mac OS X looks at what language the Dock is 
 configured
 in and uses that.  Apparently, this is not reliable, since I guess people 
 buy
 systems in one language, then use them in another, and the Dock doesn't 
 seem
 to respect that change.  You can check the language of your Dock and your
 global locale by running this in the Terminal:

 defaults read com.apple.dock loc
 defaults read NSGlobalDomain AppleLocale

 The easiest fix it to probably set the language of the Dock like this:

 defaults write com.apple.dock loc en_US

 I have no idea why its failing on Windows, maybe for a similar reason.  
 As far
 as I could tell, Pd-extended uses the 'proper' registry value:

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

 Could you send the value of that registry key on machines that fail to 
 respect
 the user setting?

 Yes, do it manually using an alias.

 You can do that using a «ln -s» command, or using the Finder or equivalent.

[PD] Gridflow path / startup the helpbrowser on multiple systems

2011-06-28 Thread rene beekman
OK, I'm confused.

I have the latest versions of Gridflow installed on both Mac OS 10.6 and
Ubuntu 10.4 and I'm having a problem configuring the Ubuntu installation the
way I want it to work (somehow, the Mac installation does exactly what I
need - intended or not - while Ubuntu is being stubborn).

I want to load the Gridglow library only through [import gridflow] (mostly
because it conflicts with [range] which I do use a lot - that's a topic for
a different discusion), but I also want to have the gridflow help files
accesible from the helpbrowser.

Both systems have Pd-extended 0.42.5 installed.

On both systems, I have paths set to .../gridflow/abstractions and
.../gridflow/depricated (this seems to be part of the Gridflow setup?
because I don't remember having set these manually)

On both systems, there is no gridflow entry in Startup.

On the Mac, [import gridflow] works.
On Ubuntu, it generates a can't load library in 'gridflow' error. I can
only get Gridflow to load if I add the path to it to Startup.

On the Mac, all Gridflow help files show up in the helpbrowser, under a
separate directory.
On Ubuntu, the Gridflow help files do not show up at all.

How do I make the Ubuntu installation behave as if it was a Mac ? :)

[PD] GEM GL: invalid enumerant on Win XP

2011-03-11 Thread rene beekman
The laptop of one of the students has a problem rendering in GEM.
To reproduce the problem, all I have to do is to make a patch that
contains nothing but one [gemwin] and one [create, 1(. Click on the
message and the following error appears in the Pd window:

GEM: GLEW version 1.5.1
GEM: Start rendering
GL: invalid enumerant

When I make a basic pix_film player patch, the same error appears and
nothing is rendered in the GEM window.

I've searched the archives, but did not find anything useful to help
me find what causes this or how to solve this.

Any suggestions how to try to solve this are more then welcome :)

The machine is an HP 530, running WinXp and Pd-extended 0.42.5

Re: [PD] unexpected behaviour in [route]

2011-02-28 Thread rene beekman
Mybad, seems it's yet another leftover from my max-days where this was
perfectly possible :)


The route-help talks about the first element of a MESSAGE it receives,
not the type of the first ARGUMENT that is is given upon creation -
which seems to make all the difference. See my example patch in the
original message.
Jonathan's explanation (below) seems to explain why that would be the case.

Thanks!



 Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2011 15:43:53 -0800 (PST)
 From: Jonathan Wilkes jancs...@yahoo.com
 Subject: Re: [PD] unexpected behaviour in [route]

 In your quote of Miller's help patch you left off half the sentence.? Here's 
 the
 full quote:

 Route checks the first element of a message against each of
 its arguments, which may be numbers or symbols (but not a
 mixture of the two.)*

 The part before the comma is wrong-- that's not how [route] works.? The 
 reality is:
 1) If the first arg is a symbol atom, then [route] is put in selector mode 
 and checks
 the selector against its arguments.? Subsequent args are assumed to be symbol 
 atoms
 (and if you try to use a float as a subsequent arg it will be treated as an 
 empty symbol).
 2) If the first arg is a float, then [route] is put in list mode and checks 
 the first element
 of an incoming list against its arguments.? Subsequent args are assumed to be 
 floats
 (and if you try to use a symbol it will be treated as the value 0).

 So what you quoted is the answer, as long as the questioner magically 
 realizes to
 ignore everything before the comma.

 * The parenthesis should be inside the period.

[PD] unexpected behaviour in [route]

2011-02-27 Thread rene beekman
I'm preparing some patches for courses that I teach and I noticed behaviour
in [route] that I found unexpected or at least inconsistent.

Attached is a patch that demonstrates the problem.

In short: when mixing types of arguments for [route], the object will fail
to properly route a float if the float is preceded by a symbol argument.
For example:
[route 12 nobug] will route 12 properly
[route bug 12] will send any incoming 12 to its last ('undefined') output

This is with Pd Extended 0.42.5 on Mac OS 10.6.6

Is this a bug or am I overlooking something?

2010-08-23 Thread rene beekman
i spent several years at an online news publication and we regularly
received requests in this vain (including threats to sue if not complied
with within x number of days) from people we had published interviews with.
the standard reply was always you agreed to the interview, therefor to its
publication, so no, we won't delete it.
needless to say, nothing ever went beyond a couple of emails back and
forth. (at most we would get a reply saying yeah, but i don't want to be
associated with that part of my life anymore - which was always good for a
laugh).

hans, your reply sounds balanced and spot-on to me.

besides the 'it's a public list and you agreed to it' argument, if you give
in to this, you are creating a precedent and the public archive loses its
value as a historical record.
he has not given a strong enough reason to do that.

he won't sue.
(and if he's based in the states, afaik, you can then sue him for
threatening to sue and not following through :D )

 Subject: FORMAT NOTICE

 If they are not removed within 15 days, I will do the necessary to sue you.

 i must say, that i'm a bit perplex.

 while in principal i'm not opposed to removing the post if they have any

 i have thus answered:

 hold on!

 i understand that you probably don't want an unsubscribe request to be
 available in a public archive.

 however, all the pd-mailinglists have always made it clear, that
 everything will be archived and made available to the public.

 thus, by subscribing to one of those mailinglists, you have given your
 agreement that all your postings to the list will be made available via
 those archives.

 furthermore, you are of course free to ask that your posting is removed
 from the archives.
 however, if somebody replied to your posting and has made this available
 to the public, then i don't see what entitles you to request a removal.
 it is their posting.

 the pd-lists are an open forum.
 they are no place to threaten people with sueing.

[PD] cross platform synth?

2010-05-27 Thread rene beekman
looking for a free, cross platform (at least mac  pc) soft synth that 
functions like a standalone application for midi demo purposes (no, can't use 
pd in this case cause the point is to show pd interacting with the software)
tried the so-called 'free' downloads from NI, which are humongous and a major 
pain to install, requiring email to get the dl url, authorization, 
personalization and what not...
was hoping anyone here might have a suggestion

thanks!

Re: [PD] pix_write output options?

2010-05-19 Thread rene beekman
lazzaro, that patch does not seem to do what i was looking for...

this is from the pix_write help patch:
With the file message you can specify a base-filename and the type of 
image-files you want to create.
The actual name of the file will be something like 
basefilenamecurrent#.ext (like GEM1.tif)

what i'm looking for is a way to overwrite or switch off the current# part 
and make it (silently) overwrite any existing file with the same name 

yes i know... dangerous, but then again, living on the edge is so much more fun 
;)

thanks again ! :)

[PD] pix_write output options?

2010-05-18 Thread rene beekman
i have 2 questions re pix_write output:
1. is there a way to keep pix_write from adding 0 to the filename? we are 
trying to write files to disk that then need to be accessed from python, we're 
passing the filename we've given to pix_write through [py] to the python script 
and it is a pain having pix_write fiddle with the name...
2. can pix_write be made to overwrite existing files with the same name?
for a different use, we just need to replace one and the same file over and 
over again.

any suggestions would be much appreciated

thanks

[PD] streaming video objects?

2010-05-13 Thread rene beekman
have been looking for an object that can stream video out, preferably starting 
from GEM and ideally running on windows or mac os.
the only option i've found so far is pdp_ffmpeg~ - which throws an error that 
the object couldn't be created when i opened the help patch on a mac, though it 
doesn't say why... (missing server? dependencies?)
to the best of my knowledge, the pidip and pdp, despite having been rolled into 
extended, don't work on windows. 

i'm sure i'm not the first to have this question :)
would appreciate any pointers as to where to look next

thanks

 in fact print doesn't support more than seven characters is argument symbol
 
 the bug is easy to reproduce:
 in a new patch create a [print ]  object and close, it will crash,
 but under certain conditions, it doesn't crash with the version I often use,
 and I've no clue why, this bug is so tricky, 
 it looks like a windows memory restriction nightmare.
 
 
 
 I'm certain the bug come from those lines from x_interface.c:
 
if (argc)
{
t_binbuf *bb = binbuf_new();
binbuf_add(bb, argc, argv);
binbuf_gettext(bb, buf, bufsize);
buf[bufsize] = 0;
x-x_sym = gensym(buf);
binbuf_free(bb);
}
 
 if you remove this the arg symbol won't crash pd.
 
 it's just weird.

Re: [PD] vista win7 support ?

2010-05-08 Thread rene beekman
now in the bugtracker, id 2998579

opening the help file for the [sel] object is one way to recreate this crash. 
but sel is not the only object

the patch you sent in feb with the [multiselect] object removed from the 
related objects subpatch does not solve the problem.

i do have (indirect, thought regular) access to several machines that run vista 
and/or windows7 for at least another month and could help in testing/debugging.

Well, that's the thing; with any other piece of external hardware I'm having no

Voodoo does sound like an option :D

 Hi Rene,
 
 I think you can safely factor the mixer out of the equation, unless you 
 believe in voodoo ;-)
 
 Pd doesn't play well with Coreaudio or Portaudio at all, so using JACK is the 
 best workaround for that. Lots of archive discussion on this topic, but no 
 solutions...

 Hi Rene,
 
 I think you can safely factor the mixer out of the equation, unless you 
 believe in voodoo ;-)
 
 Pd doesn't play well with Coreaudio or Portaudio at all, so using JACK is 
 the best workaround for that. Lots of archive discussion on this topic, but 
 no solutions...
 
 Best,

 audio playback through the mixer works fine from itunes or from the finder.
 
 when i switch to pd, however, audio keeps switching on and off at a rate 
 of about 2 or 3 times a second.
 
 i've tried fiddling with the Pd settings to solve this, but have not been 
 able to find a solution so far.
 
 i'm using portaudio, sampling rate 44100, delay 50ms, no callbacks, input 
 and output devices are set to built-in mic   output.
 
 changing any of these settings does not make any difference.
 
 tonight i installed jack and this did solve the problem.
 while i'm glad i've found a solution, i hate not understanding why it 
 works
 anyone any suggestions or pointers? :)

hi,

has anyone recently set up a wii remote with pd on either mac os x or windoze 
(or both?) ?

have been trying to find info on how this is done, but all i found is somewhat 
older, relates to apps that are no longer available, etc.

any pointers would be greatly appreciated

Re: [PD] Percolate

2009-09-26 Thread rene beekman

Jose,

Since no one else has answered your question so far, and since I had  
to find an answer to the same question only a few weeks ago, this is  
what I know about the current state of development of Percolate:


You can find the different versions of Percolate at 
http://www.music.columbia.edu/PeRColate/

From there, there is a link to a Pd version of Percolate by Olaf  
Matthes. This version, however, is no longer available. From what I've  
heard - I was not around when this happened - Olaf seems to have  
decided to no longer develop for Pd after a dispute with other  
developers.

Unfortunately, no one has stepped up to the plate to create a new port.

So it seems that right now you have two options; find a way to do your  
project without the Percolate objects, or move to Max/MSP ...


Hope this helps.

Rene

I stand corrected :)
Mark, thanks! This is great!

Now, if someone could also point me to a Windoze version of Percolate  
for Pd, I'd be totally happy :)


Rene

BTW Mark, have you thought about dropping the Percolate developers a  
note to ask them to update their links?

The Mac-native version of pd-extended does not have this problem.

The problem is compounded by Pd starting a new instance when you

If it would open in the same intance, I'd just have a window with  
help patches open...


Any help in solving this would be greatly appreciated.
