E.g., open the help patch H05.filter.floyd.pd. Right click on the array -> properties -> array window -> "View list."

can't read "0": no such variable
can't read "0": no such variable
    while executing
"array_viewlist .gfxstub13fd070 $0-array1 0"
    invoked from within
".gfxstub13fd070.listview invoke"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list]"
    (procedure "tk::ButtonUp" line 23)
    invoked from within
"tk::ButtonUp .gfxstub13fd070.listview"
    (command bound to event)
I saw this in pd extended 0.41 under win7 and thought it was the usual M$ uncooperativeness. But I saw it again just now in 0.39 on my mac.

It is a [i]real bother[/i] when trying to write an array of scale degrees for instance, when you want them to be integers but dragging the points gives you floats. Certainly there's a way to view/change the values [i]as numbers[/i] other than saving the patch and opening it in a text editor? (That won't go over too well with my student...)

there are loads of ways to read/write into arrays. look into

browser > 2.control.examples > 15.array.pd

Thanks, that's helpful, but begs the question of whether this is a genuine bug or not.

There's a button in the interface that throws up a TK error, and the steps to reproduce use an array in one of the main distro help patches. That could use some developer attention IMO.

I remember there being a bug some time ago but it did get fixed. View list button is the most direct way to edit the array, but as arif suggests you can send messages to the named array as one method, amongst others..

Is there a particular reason that you are using old version of pd? Tho I didn't think 0.41 had problems...hmm

pd 0.41 on my mac shows the same error - pd 0.42.5 on Ubuntu view list works perfectly - (could be the same on all platforms?)

Just tried it on 0.42.5-extended on OSX, and it works fine here.
