Hello Joe,

seems like Pd tries to load the plugin twice! Which means that you have its folder in your search path twice... try to remove one occurrence of the folder from your .pdsettings or .pdextended, and if it is a default folder, you can remove the single occurrence you find, because default folders are searched by default, no need to have them in your settings.

First off, great plugin - love the feature!

I just checked out the latest version of the autocomplete plugin from github.

Every time I start up Pd I get the same error (this doesn't seem to affect any functionality):

loaded: autocompletion-plugin 0.33 ----------- UNHANDLED ERROR: can't rename to "::pd_bindings::sendkey_old": command already exists while executing "rename ::pd_bindings::sendkey ::pd_bindings::sendkey_old" ("uplevel" body line 12) invoked from within "uplevel #0 $tclcode" FAILED TO LOAD /Users/joe/Library/Pd/autocompletion-plugin.tcl -----------

Also, when using the tab function, after the context menu shows, pressing the arrow keys (or any other key) followed by TAB again gives the following 'Application Error':

Error: Cannot call post message while al...

Once this shows Pd becomes unresponsive and I have to force quit it.

I'm running Pd-0.43-0 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.7

Thanks, Joe

there is a new version but it's still expermiental (and unreleased). if you wanna test it:

http://github.com/gusano/pd_stuffs

and checkout autocompletion_experimental branch

then it can be a *long* list of objects so I should change the GUI for it (nomore popup menu but a window with scrollbars but then you don't have an easy overview of all completions...). not sure I really want that though :/ maybe this could be a user option ?

> * Begin typing -> list of objects reduces as you type

the experimental version does that but there are still some bugs

> * See the one you want -> arrow key up/down, focus changes to drop-down box > then ENTER to select desired object

the current version does that
