Ah, I see:<br>
<br>
When you load a sound using [soundfiler] (which I assume is what you're doing)<br>
Pd is trying to keep you from accidentally saving an enormous array with<br>
the patch. I suppose the logic it uses is based on the notion that a) a _default_<br>
"Put" menu array is very small (only 100 elements), b) "save contents<br>
with patch" is checked by default, and c) anyone wanting to actually save<br>
array data with a patch is going to pick an array size and stick with it. Thus in<br>
d_soundfile.c you get this logic:<br>
<br>
* if the soundfile loaded is the exact same size as the array, it won't change the<br>
status of the "save contents" checkbutton.<br>
* if the soundfile is a different size than the array then it resizes the array,<br>
assumes that the "save contents" was checked simply because it's the<br>
default and not because the user wanted it checked, and finally<br>
turns it off and gives you a warning.<br>
<br>
It has certainly kept me from saving unwanted array state with<br>
a patch. But as you've experienced, that behavior doesn't make much<br>
sense if you actually want to save array data and aren't sticking with a<br>
specific size.<br>
