Miller, all other devs, contributors etc.

Thanks for the new release!

Quick feedback from a *very* quick session on Ubuntu 10.04.

Compiled and installed with ./configure --prefix=/home/lorenzo/bin/ pd-vanilla so this is not a full system-wide install test.

Which ./configure?  The one in pd/ or the one in pd/src/?

- Everything went well audio works with both alsa and jack. alsa- midi also works.
- Maybe due to specifying the PREFIX I don't get the error dmotd gets
- Where does pd pick the path for gui-rewrite plugins?

http://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files

In my case it seems to search in /home/lorenzo/src/pd-gui-rewrite/ startup/ which actually relates to another development version I was messing with.

Perhaps that's from your ~/.pdsettings?

- As for the aesthetics issues. I'm personally happy with the 'standard' white canvas (fonts seem to be erratic at every install): would it make sense to create a simple configuration file in the form param=value holding the values as in he example Hans provided maybe with simpler-to-read entries (making it up):

canvas.bgcolor=#E1E1E1
canvas.fgcolor=#000000
canvas.fontface='DejaVu Sans Mono'
canvas.fontsize=12
ui.bgcolor=#D3D3D3
ui.fgcolor=#000000
ui.fontface='Dejavu Sans'
ui.fontsize=12

The Tcl/Tk 'option' command is not far off of the above, and its much better documented, and well known by many people, so there are more people to ask. Here's an example:

http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/scripts/guiplugins/simple_examples/gtklook-plugin.tcl?revision=15040&view=markup

.hc


etc.

That's it for now.
Ciao,
Lorenzo.
