Interleave to vector nodes

vvvv beta bug
#1

Hi All

I have an old patch that I yesterday revisited. The patch used vux’ interleave node that has changed name to vector.

I opened in beta25.1 but the node was red and missing.

doesn’t vvvv have a file that translate such things into the right ones, and shouldnt the interleave nodes be changed to vector automatically?

hi sunep

i know the problem, i guess these nodes are not part of the difff.xml as they are part of the addonpack. so not programmed by devs but contributors and contributors don’t edit the difff.xml.

#3

i have to add, it’s probably bad habit to rename plugins from release to release. or we need a diff.xml and fallback patches for plugins too.

#4

me guilty of suggesting changing the name to vector.

#5

you can add your own diffs to the xml, look into it, will be easy to understand… then you can load your patches with the replaced nodes and save them.

#6

would an AddonDiff.xml as part of each addonpack make sense? and be possible?

#7

if contributors take care of it…
i bet if kalle doesn’t push people to change the names of plugins we’re save ;)

#8

i assume if that nodename still was “interleave” we would be safe from finding it in the nodelist :D

#9

Yeah thought we added it in diff (which also works for plugins), but seems this one escaped somehow :)

Easy to add again indeed, pin naming is the same tho so if you have a red Interleave node you should be able to type Vector (Spread Join) and it should relink (bit painful if you have 20 of them i admit).

#10

its in the difff.xml now.
