[textfile] sometimes gives immediately an end-of-file after opening a file for reading.
at other times the same file opens ok.

it happens with different files.

i use [openpanel] -> [read $1 cr(
and then [rewind(.

inserting a [delay 5000] before the rewind seems of no influence.

am i missing something?

when 'this-patch.pd' is opened, is there a way/external it can get it's own name ('this-patch') for example as a symbol, to send to a parent?

rolf

i found the 'solution'.
my patch was like this:

[t b b b]
| | |
| | [openpanel]
| | |
| | [read $1(
| | |
| | to textfile
| |
| [rewind(
|
[bang(

however the [openpanel] does not take part in the [trigger] philosophy;
the next bang from the [trigger] does not wait for completion of that branch.

putting the [trigger] after the [openpanel] and before the [read $1( solved it.

thnx for reacting

windows & OS show the same behavior
i'm using Pdext 42.5

big correction:
in ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) + Pdext 0.43 the cursor still changes into the hand with the no-go sign, BUT it's possible to make connections.
hurray

i'm having this same problem of not being able to 'connect' objects, in every version of Ubuntu i tried - 8.10 , 9.10 , 10.04, 10.10.
8.10 & 10.04 were fresh installs of Ubuntu.
in Windows XP on the same machines Pd works smoothly.

(with Pd-L2ork, only available for Ubuntu, this problem doesn't exist)

rolf

i'm having the same in Ubuntu 9.10 with Pd 0.41.4-1 installed from the repository.
when trying to connect objects a small sign appears probably meaning 'not allowed'.

playing patches made in Windows works well.
