It's fixed in Pd 0.53.1 !

To those stuck with 0.52 who want to get the last apt package on Ubuntu versions prior to Lunar, I fixed my issue with apt pinning.

So you're trying to label a Pd GUI (a canvas?)

Yes, a toggle more exactly.

A simple but a bit ugly work around would be to use to single quotes.

I had the same workaround idea, I guess it works but it's less pretty and means I have to use a different patch for one of the keys, instead of my abstraction (the other ones use the same argument in label and route).

Anyway, thank you @alexandros for trying on Ubuntu as well !

I've submited a bug report, or perhaps a feature request for quotes " to be escapable with backslash \ ?

Hi,
I'm getting error messages and freeze when trying to set toggle label as ", using a [label "( message.
I have tried escaping the double quotes with a backslash, but no luck there...

Here is the error :

(Tcl) UNHANDLED ERROR: extra characters after close-quote
    while executing
".x55bcea3ad440.c itemconfigure 55bcea3e1980LABEL -text [::pdtk_text::unescape "" "]

x55bcea3ad440: no such object
...

and then it gets stuck forever...

Any idea how to get around this ?

Thanks

The problem happens on Ubuntu but not on MacOS, I haven't tested on Windows or other distros.

What's also strange is that it seems to work the first time with loadbang, but then if there's another bang the error happens, but I guess this might be due to how the abstraction is coded and how dollarsigns are handled.

For some context, I'm making a patch that can be controlled from my laptop's keyboard.
I am using [keyname] because it catches more keys than [key] (like Shift for example).
I am using an abstraction for each key to get a nice UI, where you can only see the key toggle with a label that changes when Shift or Caps_Lock is pressed.

@monetus Oh I guess I should copy your patch instead?

@monetus the last GUI works when I start Pd normally (I get one error and then it works), but not when I start it from receive_pdwindow.pd (I get a few errors and then it doesn't respond).

@whale-av @Monetus Thank you both! The first GUI works great with my external!

Thank you!
I will try to find the right port, I will let you know if I can find something.

Hi!
Does anyone know of a simple way to receive the information printed on the console window?
I am using ann_mlp for a small neural network project, and I need to know when it is done training, which can take a very variable amount of time depending on the file I give it, and the complexity of the NN. My problem is that this object only displays this information on the console, it doesn't bang any outlet.
I have tried a few methods like [r pd], but I only got some pings and keypressed information...
Thank you!
