[PD] 0.43 oddities (Was Re: pdlua and tclpd: now embedded in Pd-extended 0.43)

2012-02-27 Thread András Murányi
Just a list of strange things I noticed running latest autobuild - on this
account where Pd was never used before.
(some of these are perhaps known or perfectly ok. Now that pd on my account
is practically out of order, I'm kind of a newbie when I start it up...)
- starts up with message: Cannot read GUI prefs file:
~/.config/pd-extended/recentfiles.conf
- maximum object loading depth 1000 reached message when object not found
- there is no .pdextended file. If I'm not wrong, it's created when you
first try to save preferences, but your preferences won't be saved.
- Before exit, if chose to save dirty new patch, an Application Error
window appears:

 Not connected to 'pd' process
 Not connected to 'pd' process
 while executing
 error Not connected to 'pd' process
 (procedure pdsend line 6)
 invoked from within
 pdsend pd watchdog
 (procedure pdtk_watchdog line 2)
 invoked from within
 pdtk_watchdog
 (after script)

- After quit i get this error every time:  pdsend errorname: error
writing sock6: broken pipe
- Default .pdextended has no 'path' list
- When using 'path' in .pdextended, many, seemingly pointless (?) errors
come up like this:

 WARNING: duplicate 'manual' library found!
   '/usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/cyclone/manual' is active
   '/usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/iemlib/manual' is duplicate

or like this kind:

 WARNING: duplicate 'pdlua' library found!
   '/usr/lib/pd-extended/startup/pdlua' is active
   '/usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/pdlua' is duplicate

or like this:

 WARNING: duplicate 'oscx' library found!
   '/usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/oscx' is active
   '/usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/oscx' is duplicate

That should be a debug message rather than an error, I'll change that.

 - maximum object loading depth 1000 reached message when object not
 found

What object is it trying to create when it does that?  By the way, there
is a nice new feature, you can do File - Save As.. on the Pd window,
and it'll save the entire Pd window contents.  That's useful for
including in emails like this :)

 - there is no .pdextended file. If I'm not wrong, it's created when you
 first try to save preferences, but your preferences won't be saved.

Pd-extended will only create one when you Save All Settings in the
Audio Settings.

That's an odd one, sounds like your 'pd' process is dying.  Any ideas
why?

 - Default .pdextended has no 'path' list

Yup, use the standard locations[1] or the new [path] object.

 - When using 'path' in .pdextended, many, seemingly pointless (?) errors
 come up like this:

I'm no longer supporting setting the path and startup libs via the
preferences.  Anyone else is welcome to take that on.
