[PD] Pd-0.52-0 macOS universal build (prerelease)

[Dan Wilcox]

Yes, this is a bug. I formalized the ascii handling to use the .txt file extension by default so you can pass a .txt file and it will be read as ascii without requiring the -ascii flag. Same with writing.

The issue here is that the -ascii flag should *always* force reading ascii (unless overridden by -raw) but the .txt extension check was still taking place, so your .tab file was being reject since it wasn't a .txt.

In any case, it's a one line fix and it's good you checked and found this.

Can you test your setup with this quick build which has the fix?

Pd-0.52.0-ascii-readfix.zip <http://docs.danomatika.com/pdbuilds/0.52/Pd-0.52.0-ascii-readfix.zip>

Note: This is a mismatch build as it has the old x86_64 only Tk 8.6.10 from Pd 0.51-4 with a 0.52-0 universal core. This shouldn't keep it form running for testing but probably not good to keep around for the long term. It was quicker to turn this out right now then do a more up to date version as I'm mucking with the build system here.
