buglist

open

patches directory missing. the same file on osx shows the patches directory. maybe a bug of the zip-application?

eerne: sounds familiar. an easy fix would be to place 1 files into netpd/patches... readme.txt or a netpd patch

In Windows, be careful to not use hash character in file or folder names

netpd

it seems that there is a problem with all netpd/tut and netpd/doc patches. do they need declare as well?

roman : oh, yes... since last big change, patches with netpd-abs work only inside creator. unfortunately i don't quite know right now, how to deal with it. adding a [declare] for each patch seems ugly to me and not easy to maintain. i think i'll just use [../abs/netpd-absname] instead [netpd-absname].

eerne : i propose 1 single [declare -path ../abs] in every netpd/tut and every netpd/doc patch, because to me renaming every object to [../abs/netpd-absname] is ugly

btw: do we loose right-click Help on netpd-abs?

filenames with uppercase letters

it seems that automatically downloaded abstractions with upper case letters get converted to lower case ones with the result, that the patch using them can't find them in the abs-folder.

workaround: give abstractions names with only lower case letters.

[Howto]?

the iemlib link points to a version from 2001.

chat

• doesn't print talk to console
• when typing only digits, last message is repeated
• focus of scrollwindow jumps to each last message, which makes it difficult to reread past parts. more optimal behaviour would be the one of xchat: focus follows talk automatically only, if the scrollbar is moved to the bottom.
• online button is buggy. if no connection can be established on patch load, login button doesn't work anymore.

creator

• close button should have background color and only light up, when pressed. it turned out, that people are tempted to click it and unintentionally close netpd-patches.
• creator doesn't load files with a dot in the name (besides the dot for the extension in .pd).
• would be nice to prevent users from opening creator directly. maybe with an alert subpatch window when a user opens it or not visualizing it in [list]? or move the whole _creator.pd into _chat.pd

latch-x

crashes netpd if length of a latchcycle is too long. it seems, that it sometimes records a latchcycle without having pressed the assigned key, which will lead to a network traffic jam, as soon the key is pressed. sometimes this even crashes the server....

jamx

it uses [mtx] which is an alias to [matrix] that doesn't work on pd-extended. (you first have to instantiate [matrix] before [mtx] can be instantiated) thus all [mtx] should be replaced by [matrix].

eerne: which pd-extended? i tested with pd-039-extended i could load [mtx] without first instantiated [matrix]. with pd-040-extended-20071026 neither worked, [import iemmatrix] didn't help, only declare works.
