hi,

just woke up to an empty abstraction after 12 hours of working yesterday.. i am a little frustrated, to say the least.

i cannot afford for this to happen again, and waste so much time and energy - if anyone knows why this may have happened - or if this is a recuring bug or anything - PLEASE let me know!

my details-
Pd version 0.42.5.extended
Dell Latitude 2100 running Puredyne
terminal info at startup:
tk scaling is 1.69598330725...
[...]
<init> 1600 mhz Intel Atom CPU N70 @ 1.60Ghz processor detected

ive had problems with puredata since trying to reinstall extended - font sizes are tiny, abstractions sometimes appear not to exist etc. etc..

this time, the abstraction exists on disk, but shows as 0 bytes, and appears to contain no data. how this could have happened i have no idea..

HELP!

Wow. I've been using Pd-extended (on OSX) for 4-ish years and have never had that happen. I've never heard of it happening, either. I've heard of the font size issue, though. You might want to check the Pd-list archives about it. As for the abstractions, you might want to file a bug report, especially if you can reproduce it.

..i know.. scary.. been using for quite a while and never had it happen. will see if there is a way to report...

..oh, and thanks for replying
