Hey Ico,
Donno if you have ever seen this, but you might be interested in Joe
Sarlo's GUI patch from way back when:
http://www-crca.ucsd.edu/~jsarlo/pd/
Its got two great ideas that have not been ported forward:
• Patch Cord Viewer: Lets you see what is being sent over a patch
cord. For signals, shows the maximum value over 2205 samples. Toggle
with Ctrl+r in edit mode.
• Highlighted Inlets/Outlets: When patching, the inlet and outlet that
will be connected is highlighted.

Dear fellow Pd enthusiasts,
I am pleased to report that earlier today L2Ork released latest
snapshot
of its own variation of pd-extended 0.42.5. While we are working
hard on
submitting isolated patches upstream (some of which have been already
submitted), many more need to be isolated before they can be
provided in
a useful format. Another roadblock is that we are still stuck on
0.42.5
which makes patch integration so much more difficult into the 0.43
branch.
That said, we would love to get some feedback/testers. The tarball is
for *linux only* clients (a good number of optimizations have not been
tested on other platforms and there are already known issues,
particularly in respect to pd.tk file).
Some of the notable improvements include much faster editor (instead
of
redrawing we tag and move objects wherever possible while still
allowing
for legacy movement of objects not conforming to the pd vanilla
gobj_displace format), bunch of usability improvements (e.g. custom
color picker with color storing and hex editing), per-canvas
toggling of
menu and background color (see Abstractions), universal shortcuts,
different scrolling algorithm. Likewise, the UI is entirely revamped
to
better fit the "Gnome-ish" feel. Jack connectivity algorithm also is
automated and compensates for changes in srate, etc.
At any rate, there are bunch of other little/big fixes I honestly
cannot
recall. These improvements are a product of a year of use within the
context of a 15-member laptop orchestra taking into an account
feedback
from students/participants, including also my latest hac-a-thon this
past week that involved overhauling redraw to improve editor speed.
So,
if any of you would be so kind as to give it a stab and provide any
feedback, that would be most appreciated.
You can get the latest snapshot from
http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56
The source tarball also includes prebuilt binaries, so assuming you
have
an intel machine with Ubuntu 9.10, it should "just run." (cd pd/bin/
followed by ./pd). Otherwise, you may have to rebuild it (standard
pd-extended 0.42.x procedure).
Your feedback, particularly bug-reports are most appreciated.
Best wishes,
Ico
