[PD] pool problems: subdirs & instabilities

[Rune Lain Knudsen]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use Pool to generate a list of presets for a sample player. The idea is to have a collection of 32 samples each with 8 presets and to be able to save/load this with the xml structure provided with Pool. However I'm running into some problems:

- I've created the patch for setting up the directory structure(32 absolute dirs and 8 subdirs for each). The name(key) for each absolute dir works fine but the subdirs seem to 'inherit' the name of its parent dir no matter how I use the mksub/mkchsub command. Is it supposed to be like this, or am I just doing something wrong?

- I've noticed instabilities on some occations: Sending clrrec to pool without any other command tends to do strange things to pd, also just closing a patch containing Pool often gives an error to the console, and sometimes it even causes PD to crash and hog 99% of my computers resources.

Attached is the patch demonstrating these issues together with the resulting .xml file(where you can see how the subdirs get the same name as the absolute dir). I've tried using more than numbers for names as well(program0, program1 etc. for absolute and preset0, preset1 etc. for subdirs) and the same thing happens as with the numbers.

My setup is winXP, pd39.2 and pool 0.2.2pre(the one in the beta folder at Thomas' homepage)

Thanks,
Rune
