That worked. Thank you! I didn't know that I needed to add the pd- to the patch name.

It's disappointing to see that people have been struggling for nine years with the problem of PD randomly putting patches where they can't be seen. Do you know whether there are any plans to fix this? Anyway, thank you again for your help and patience with a newbie.

Your test patch worked, but when I tried mine, I got this in the console:

saved to: C:/Users/nypon/Desktop/Music/PureData/launchpad/test_relocate.pd
test_relocate.pd: no such object

That didn't move or resize the window.
I downloaded Mofiki's Coordinate Finder and verified that Windows has the top left of the display as x=0, y=0.

As an experiment, I copied the messages from the help file and added a bang. I tried moving and resizing the window, then clicking the bang, but nothing happened. The window did not move or resize. What am I missing?

I have two displays connected to my Windows PC. I normally only have the primary display turned on. Sometimes when I open a patch in PD, it opens it on the secondary display, even though I never placed it on the secondary display, and the secondary display is turned off. This was very disconcerting the first time it happened. I thought that PD had lost my patch. It took me a while to figure out that PD had placed the patch on the wrong display. How can I get PD to stop putting patches on the wrong display? I just want PD to open patches at the location where I last saved them. I've tried different display settings in Windows, put PD just seems to ignore them.

Thank you! That's helpful.

Thanks. That might be what I need, but I need to do some more research on MIDI MPE messages. I'd like to find a MIDI MPE sample file that I could download. I see that Max/MSP added some new objects for MPE, mpeconfig, mpeparse, mpeformat, polymidiin, and others. I'm going to look to see what they're doing.

I'm thinking about getting an MPE-capable MIDI controller to use with the synth I made in Pure Data. I'd like to enhance my synth to support the MPE features. Has anyone worked with MIDI MPE in Pure Data? Any advice or suggestions?
