saving the image in a pictslider
hey guys,
i am using the pictslider in a patch, using it in the presentation mode. when I try to send the file to my other device, the picture for the slider background and knob are not available and I have to insert them again. is there a way to do it in such a way that when I send it to someone and he opens it. he will immediately see the picture in the object?
thanks,
Hicham
you must copy pict files together with patch.
best into same enclosed folder.
It is all explained in help and reference file.
for portability, it is better to use file name instead of
absolute path.
the mean thing about gui objects is that it first pretends to work using a filename at any relative path to the patcher file during creation of the patch, but after next restart then it suddenly requires that the file is inside the search path.
using a surrounding folder as proposed above is a very good practice, but if you can, you should always instruct the receiving party to move the stuff into his max search path in addition.
which of course means that you should take care to use really unique names for all your patches and images.
