OK, so, I may have identified part of the problem, if not the root of the problem. I was using an older version of the else library. The new else's gain~ has a new set of objects that I believe takes a lot of CPU to run.

The original version was working. What is the best practice when something like this occurs?

The object that I think is creating the issue is: pd learn/forget

Do I make my own gain~ object?

Thank you. I am grateful for your prompt responses.

So, I had a problem a few years back that you or someone else resolved. I am not sure why it has crept back in.

gain~ from the else library needs to be saved everytime I close the program. There was something I needed to do so that did not happen. I am sorry I forgot.

Also, oddly, most of my patches are taking a LONG TIME to close when I close the main window. I am not sure what happened. To give some background, my last computer is a 2018 mac and the patches close at reasonably quickly, now it seems like there is almost a freezing. I am now on a 2025 mac.

iemguts cannot seem to load. I believe I added the library. But when I reopen pd, the Pd window states: can't load library.

So, an update. I tried to delete zexy library and then re-upload it, but that does not seem to work.

OK, I seemed to get it working by declaring the libraries used and not relying on the Preferences. Is that common? Am I doing something wrong?

Hello all,
So, I had to get that new computer. Now I am transferring all my files and somethings are not working on the new computer. They might be in the zexy external.

Here are some that are not working:

s2l . . . what I want to do is count how many characters are in a symbol (word). So each character should be separated. It does not seem to be working any longer.

minmax
date
time

Any ideas? I would be very grateful.

I assume one just has to "deal" with this, but if you put a label on a number or list object then you cannot use Find... to locate all the places the variable occurs. This is frustrating, but I guess it is just the way it is.

Right?

Oh, it works pretty fast.

Thanks will look at that file.

I was trying the |table normalize(

Greetings,
Is there a way to tell if the normalize action is working? Or do you just have to wait?

Thank you so much for the feedback. I understand most of what you have indicated here.
