Yes that would be a solution for the background. But then I still have the problem that the text has to be changeable. You can load audio files in my patch and the names of the patch should appear as a text. I need a way to change the text in the comment box without touching it.

Hey @Ingox, thanks for the answer. The thing is that I am using the patch in a vst plugin with a jpeg as a background. It would look nicer if you have the letters directly on the background instead of in a white box on the background. and the text has to be changeable. I dont know how you would use the canvas object to avoid that?

Hello there,
I am trying to find a way to change a comment box via messages. The point is to avoid symbol boxes to make it look better in the GUI.
Does somebody know a way to achieve that?
Cheers, Josh

Oh man thank you! I would have never come up with that! Still working on the matter concerning the girlfriend though.

I followed your advice and managed it with routing everything to a single soundfile. Thank you! Now I am trying to figure out how it is possible to just store the name of the file without the path. This I need to show in the camomile plugin what file is on which key. Do you have any advice there?
Thank you very much,
Josh

@whale-av thank you very much! And yes, I want to store the whole path And thanks for the heads up concerning the $0 in the message box. Actually I know it, but I forget it from time to time.
And I'm not sure what you mean that PD creates a new textfile when there are several patches running? But I have 20 paths I want to save. And it is less work to do it with abstractions using $0.

Hello community,

I am working on a sampler to run as vst via camomile and I try to find a way how to store a symbol in a textfile. So far it just stores some weird message in the textfile. This is roughly how I do it:

[bang]
|
[openpanel]
|
[symbol]
|
[read $1 $0-mytext(
|
[text define $0-mytext] (or: [textfile]

Can somebody tell me what I do wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Pierre-Guillot. Thanks for everything. Unfortunately it still doesnt work on my computer although I tried everything back and forth. I made a bug report. Maybe that shows the problem clearer?
Cheers

@Pierre-Guillot thanks for the reply, I spent the last two days on the issue I looked up the reported issues but for me it doesn't seem to be the same thing. Maybe I am just not seeing something here. Before I make a bug report; Maybe there is just something wrong with my code? ?openpanel.pd

Hi @Pierre-Guillot,
thanks for your work! I'm using it for my masters thesis in Sound Design.
But I have difficulties with the openpanel object and I can't find help in your documentary. I get the PD vst to open the panel and choose a file. But it doesn't let me do anything with it. In my patch it is processed with soundfiler and played back with [tabread4]. Can somebody help how to do this in the vst?

Thanks a lot!
