<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Thanks Funs, It’s really puzzling. I’ve included two short patchers—one my student emailed me, and one I built from his screen grab. Pd opens mine, but not his. Other than the coordinates and order of objects, the only difference I see is on the line with “wave sinesum.” His version has “\;” after the coordinates, and my version has “:” after the coordinates. I tried changing that in his version, but still couldn’t get it to open.<BR>

I have a student using Pd-extended on Ubuntu Linux, and I am using<BR>
PD-extended in Mac OSX. When he sends me a file created on his computer, I<BR>
can't open it, and get something like the following in the console:<BR>
<BR>
error: #N: no such object<BR>
error: #X: no such object<BR>

When I send him patches, he can open them just fine. If he sends me a screen<BR>
grab of his patch, I can build it and it works just fine. The problem only<BR>
happens when I try to open the actual Pd file he sent. I've also tried<BR>
opening them with a text editor, and everything looks fine. If I then<BR>
copy/paste the text into a new text file and save it with the .pd suffix,<BR>
though, it still won't open. Is there some issue regarding transferring<BR>
between these two systems? Thanks for any help or advice.<BR>

I would compare the text file of your re-build to his original. Except for some XY-coordinates and order of objects/connections there shouldn't be a difference. I've never heard of such a problem and never had one, although I'm using Pd (vanilla) on both Ubuntu and OSX (and use patches cross-platform). I don't know if some different text encodings have been used in older versions. Maybe others know more about text encodings et cetera. If you want to be shure try to retype a small file instead of copy/paste. I once even typed a text file on a Windows computer and opened it later at home as a working pd-patch.<BR>
