Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. >Category: pd-extended >Group: v0.42 >Status: Pending >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Assigned to: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Summary: plugin~ help patch needs replacement Initial Comment: We have known for years that the plugin~ help patch can crash Pd if the requested LADSPA plugins are not present on the user's system. The issue has been addressed on the mailing list dozens of times, and a corrected help patch posted years ago by Frank Barknecht, however it has not been updated. As a final attempt, I post it here in the hopes that someone will take a few minutes to deal with this finally. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Date: 2010-06-14 14:22 Message: I committed some kind of version of this help patch. http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data?view=rev&revision=13639 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: IOhannes m zmlnig (zmoelnig) Date: 2010-06-07 08:02 Message: hmm, i tried both this help-patch and the one that comes with PdX-0.42rc1. both crash. therefore: - the attached patch doesn't fix any problem, since the crash can be triggered by the user at any time (the bug is in [plugin~] not in any help-patch) - the attached patch doesn't fix the symptoms either anyhow, thanks for the report ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=478070&aid=3012451&group_id=55736 _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
