Re: [PD] pd x 0.41

Re: [PD] Object size Pd Extended
From the screenshot it looks like the right font is loaded, but it is messed up, since the p and g are higher than the other letters, for example. Looks like you are running Ubuntu/Hardy. Which language are you using? It works fine on both of my Ubuntu/Hardy machines, and it worked before on Feisty and Gutsy. My guess is still that something is wrong with your machines font handling.

Re: [PD] UI developer volunteering to help
Wow, what an improvement! I like it a lot.

On Mac OS X, it should just be OK and Cancel. On Windows, there should be Apply. I think GNOME has moved away from Apply, but I don't know anything about KDE. - some separation of the buttons on the right column would make things clearer, I think.

On Mac OS X, it should just be OK and Cancel. On Windows, there should be Apply. I think GNOME has moved away from Apply, but I don't know anything about KDE. KDE seam to have both Apply and OK (and Cancel). But i don't think the actual UI need be platform dependent. That is, i think it matters less then having multiple buttons with different names that hint much the same functionally but don't nessacarily supply that functionality. Apply, Ok and Save in this case - as explained earlier. One easy solution is to remove the Save button and add the save functionality to the Ok button. And then either remove also the Apply button or add the save functionality to that also. So where Save:= Saves changes to file ready for next startup of Pd Cancel:= Cancels i.e. quit the dialog we have: Case i: Cancel Apply:= Save Ok:= Apply + Cancel Case ii: Cancel Ok:= Save + Cancel That said, I'd like to underline that i think the improvements already done are much more impotent then this clearing of confusion of the UI.

Re: [PD] UI developer volunteering to help
Oops, one other detail with the encode proc. While namespaces are probably the current way to handle function names, they are not used for any other functions in u_main.tk So for this function, I think it should be called something like pdtk_encodelist without the namespace, then grouped with pdtk_encode. Something like this: proc pdtk_encodelist {listdata} { set outlist {} foreach this_path $listdata { if {0==[string match $this_path]} { lappend outlist [pdtk_encodedialog $this_path] } } return $outlist } Then perhaps namespaces can be introduced later as a more systematic approach. .hc On May 11, 2008, at 3:15 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: I just thought of one other thing: I think it would be very useful if Path, Startup, Audio Settings, and MIDI settings where all tabs in one panel, instead of four separate panels. .hc On May 11, 2008, at 1:29 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: Wow, what an improvement!
