Hello all,<br>
<br>
I discovered some problems with the placement of sliders due to
autopatch:<br>
<br>
- Using only the keyboard to input a patck (autopatch), the
following sequence Ctrl+2, 64, Ctrl+1, vsl, Ctrl+3 results into:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://s13.postimg.org/rgyspkdfr/image.png">http://s13.postimg.org/rgyspkdfr/image.png</a><br>
- but if one types: Ctrl+2, 64, Ctrl+1, vsl and now deselect the
[vsl] object and then select it again, and then type Ctrl+3, we get
the expected result: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://s27.postimg.org/y146zhcs3/image.png">http://s27.postimg.org/y146zhcs3/image.png</a><br>
<br>
- The same is not true for [hsl], which outputs a beautiful result
straight away: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://s30.postimg.org/4pkzkopkh/image.png">http://s30.postimg.org/4pkzkopkh/image.png</a><br>
- The problem here is compatibility: pd-extended's [hsl] is anchored
to the left of pd-l2Ork one. Have a look on the same file as above,
but opened in pd-extended:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://s28.postimg.org/dkvm4fylp/image.png">http://s28.postimg.org/dkvm4fylp/image.png</a><br>
- This is probably because you tried to fix the odd behaviour of
pd-extended's autopath positioning of [hsl]. In pd-extended, if we
try Ctrl+2, 64, Ctrl+1, hsl, Ctrl+3, we get:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://s7.postimg.org/b48zw71y3/image.png">http://s7.postimg.org/b48zw71y3/image.png</a><br>
- And similarly to the [vsl] case described above, if we try Ctrl+2,
64, Ctrl+1, hsl, then deselect and select the [hsl] object again
before typing Ctrl+3, we get:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://s9.postimg.org/46vkft1xb/image.png">http://s9.postimg.org/46vkft1xb/image.png</a><br>
<br>
Ideally, the best way of solving this would be to correct
pd-extended (and vanilla as well if it shows the same behaviour),
else the layout of patches will not be completely compatible between
both programs. Imagine someone took a long time creating a pretty
GUI with sliders, radios and colored canvas in one program, just to
open it in the other one and finding the sliders out of place.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you wish me to do any more tests involving this
issue.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
