i just tried pd-extended (20080528) and i like the new dialogs but have some remarks (sorry for being so late) - double-clicking on the Startup (library) field yields an error "grab failed: window not viewable" (was this the bug already reported by hans?) - when adding a library, it opens a window titled "add new startup command"; i think this is confusing, it should rather say something along the lines "add new startup library" - adding an entry at the beginning is still complicated: selecting the first line and clicking on "new..." will add a second entry (_below_ the clicked one) all other list-boxes i know will add the entry _above_ and allow to click on an empty line at the bottom to append things. - the centering on the middle desktop is a bit weird on dual-monitor setups (i think this has also been reported by hans or someone else) apart from that, i like it quite a lot. fmgasdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
