i'm currently using pdext 40.3.rc3 but all errors were present in whatever 41.4
version i had before

-select wtf?
sel s wont recognize |symbol 1( even if you send it exactly this msg 2 times. i want
to use it to detect key 1 with keyname
interestingly a select f recognizes a |symbol q ( but not a float 1 combined with a
pressed 1

-unpack s s s
wont convert a |1 2 3 ( to symbol why? numbers should be able to be symbols too!
or what about at least a unpack a a a ?

-selecting keyname , and ;
keyname seems to put out \, and \; but you cant use \ in pd. the main window says keycode 92 dropped... duh :/

-dsp loop
if you make a patch / pd subwindow with a
inlet~ -> delwrite~
delread~ -> outlet~
pd wont see that there is no loop if you feed the output back to the input
should be easy to implement just one boolean after reading and building a graph for the patch. and i know you do some analysis becouse how would you detect the loop whithout

-slow redraw
why is there a redraw at almost every mouse event, while moving objects?
just use the last one or of you want to make it float around, make a list and use the position of event at 25% 50% 75% and 100% or whatever

-better looking connections?
i bet the developers already think about doing this but how about adding dots to connections instead of making workarounds with +~ and whatever to make a patch look better
and maybe even bspline or bezier-curves?
even better! autoalign /-organize like in http://www.graphviz.org/ ? i know its SLOW!

-not realy a pd problem
on my keyboard _ is uppercase for - but with capslock the output is -
but this seems not to be a direct pd error because windows does this mistake... why i wonder

-ET phones home?
why does pd.exe and wish84.exe regulary try to phone home? and what is wish84 anyway? mal-/adware?

enough nagging for today
thanks for working on pd @all devs
i realy like the graphical changes in 40.3ext-rc3 looks much better and everything
and thanks to all who answer me beforehand

p.s. i could make a patch with some of the bugs if you want

creates a symbol from your float

see above for how to convert your floats to symbols

i think this is because \ has a specific function in pd that will create havoc if you use it as a key input. there are plenty of other keys to use though, so really not a huge problem.

yes, this annoys me too.

probably related to the slow gui problem above.

i don't know exactly what wish does, but it is an integral part of pd.

pd has limitations. especially, i think the worst one is the tc/tkl framework that organizes pd's gui. it sux. but we learn to live with these things.

yeah but i want to check for , and ; but if i put them in a msg box i have to escape them somehow because they signal the end of a msg
\ is used in most of the programminglanguages for escaping even itself: \\ wich can get quiet funny

@makefilename
seems to do what i want but i dont understand why say a symbol $1 dosnt do the same
however it seems i could even use this to work around my , ; problem, but it wont result in a good solution

sorry, but it really just looks to me like you want to complain.

there are so many things that pd CAN do, and it seems like you just want to show off about finding the few things that it can't do.

booo!

wish84 is a part of tcl/tk. I think tcl/tk is fine, but when i look at what my mate can do (graphically) with reaktor, i'm always a little envious at first. but then it always gives me ideas to try new stuff in pd.
