Global Channels browser is looking at VL.CoreLib.HDE on opening

vvvv gamma bug

Heyhey,

This is 5.3-164.
When opening a fresh patch and pressing CTRL+G to open the Global Channels browser, it thinks I’m in VL.CoreLib.HDE, see the following screenshot :

Thus when creating a Global Channel and only after that focusing the IDE, the extension switches to the actual patch I’m looking at, which obviously makes the Global Channel go away.

Repro steps :

  • Start gamma
  • Press CTRL+G, the extension opens
  • Create a Global Channel
  • Focus the IDE

Expected behavior would be to not allow to create a Global Channel until the user has actually focused a document.

Cheers!

Right. That was annoying. Thanks for the report!

The culprit was our definition of what an application is, which was filtering out the empty ones.
Now we found a way of allowing empty applications without getting overwhelmed by too many of them.

You can double-check what applications/entry-points vvvv is running in the main menu under “Applications”. Your empty patch should show up and the Global Channel Browser should sync to this application.
