[GEM-dev] gem bugs on OSX

[ben at ekran.org]

Hey all,

A stable release would be great. Currently up in the air are chances for
Matt and I to teach pd/gem stuff at a college and university here.

anyhow I only have very sporatic access to a mac nowadays, but I have
noticed some pretty significant bugs. I wish I could send an example
patch.

yesterday we were using the gem.pd_darwin on cgc's site, on a 12"
powerbook. Upon putting an alpha object in the chain the object became
immidiatly transparent. Even when the colorRGB alpha was set to 1 the
object was still transparent. Reducing the colorRGB alpha value does
make the object more transparent. Removing the alpha object makes the
object opaque again.

Also we had some strange issues with pix_movie and pix_film. One would
load photo jpg QTs the other would not, one would load DV QT and the
other would not. I'm sorry I did not get a chance to log the exact codec
and object issues, I was planning on making a more detailed report on
the mac but I've had trouble getting access. Also we were using
pix_texture2 across the line.

sorry about this bug report being vague. I'll get you more details as
soon as I can.

Thanks
Ben
