Greetings,<br>
<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>
error: #X: no such object<br>
error: #X: no such object<br>
error: #X: no such object<br>
error: #X: no such object<br>
error: #X: no such object<br>

error: #X: no such object<br>
error: #X: no such object<br>
error: #X: no such object<br>
error: #X: no such object<br>
error: #X: no such object<br>
<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>
<br></blockquote><div><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>
