how do I open a text like

#N canvas 635 358 545 442 10;
#N canvas 529 231 558 569 fft 0;
#X obj 19 62 inlet~;
#X obj 85 214 inlet;
#X obj 19 92 rfft~;
#X obj 19 125 *~;
#X obj 50 125 *~;

as a patch and viceversa?

thanks

Save it as plaintext file with the extension .pd

Then you can load it from the Pd File->Open menu

If you want to view, (or edit) a .pd file as text just open it in a text editor.

Of course if you're on some awful excuse for an "operating system" like Windows then you will also have to change the file extension to .txt too

i know this is an old post, but as a slight time saver, just right click->open with->notepad

or

start->run-> then type (this works in cmd as well) notepad.exe <path to file>

e.g. notepad.exe C:\PD\MyPDPatches\Example.pd

this way you don't have to change the extension back and forth. would be nice if here was a PD refresh button so you could edit the textfile and refresh the pd canvas like you do with html files.

is there one
