finding a bug in a patch causing PD crash via text edit?

stefano_zorzanello

Hi again,
a new problem...
While, after having worked with 2 video monitors, I was trying to correct the windows subpatch positions via text, putting the canvas values to 0 0... I have probably involuntarily messed up something else in my patch. Now the patch doesn't open anymore, and it causes PD to crash! Is there any way to correct the patch via text... to correct the mistake that causes the crash? I don't know how or where to start to debug this. Any help super appreciated, stefano

@stefano_zorzanello A copy and paste of that patch works fine for me and scanning through the text I don't see any issues, but I did not look closely. Did you save it as plain text? or just let the text editor decide the format? rtf or other fancy formats used by word processors might cause a crash. Here is the patch I get, maybe it will work if saving as plaintext does not work for you.

@stefano_zorzanello
Here is your file working on my computer.... hmm.zip

You can find the pd file format here........ https://puredata.info/docs/developer/PdFileFormat

Scroll down to "canvas".... for a full description.

So it seems that your edit was acceptable.
Did you edit the file in a very basic text editor?
In windows notepad works, but if you edit in a word processor you will corrupt the file with hidden formatting characters.
EDIT..... same conclusion as @oid
David.

Thank you very much David and Oid, in effects I used microsoft Word as I was totally unaware of this hidden formatting characters issue, thank you so much!
