Hi again!

Is there a chance that something is broken with the [text] object implementation in pure data? I a working with a basic form of state-saving system (possibly presets in the future) that saves and recalls global variables sent through OSC. It works fine on my local machine, and I can read correctly from the .txt file on the bela (which I can also update through the IDE), yet I don't seem to be able to write into the .txt file from the patch itself by using a digitalIn message.

The reason I think there might be something wrong with the object (besides my local troubleshooting) is that a patch with the text object will not render correctly in the IDE, although this might be a coincidence since I don't thoroughly understand how the compiling process works.

Thanks!

    can you share a simple patch that reproduces the problem? Please keep it minimal.

    that is likely just a coincidence: the visualisation is entirely independent from what happens when running the patch.

    dvvi I don't thoroughly understand how the compiling process works.

    there is no compiling (unless you are using hvcc, but then you'd be getting errors while building and you wouldn't get
    the patch displayed in the IDE): the patch runs on Bela in Pd (wrapped by libpd), so in principle everything except for objects using the Tcl/Tk GUI should work as expected.

          giuliomoro A ha! Trying to write a minimal simple patch that reproduces the problem showed me what was wrong with my patch (basic debug strategy, uh?). It works as expected now!

          Many thanks!
