Error keycode 92: dropped .... can't update mmp gui because of "\" not allowed in puredata anymore. #59

When I try to send toGUI using a message box using "list /myLabel \$1" to update the GUI on my local PC I get a error in Pd keycode 92: dropped. Due to a change in PureData see link https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/bugs/1159/

I can't update the mmp gui on the desktop because the type of backslash "\" which MobMuPlat uses is not allowed in puredata any-more they are automatically dropped.

Is their a workaround? I'm using Pd 0.48.1 on ubuntu 18.04 64bit I'lve attached the two files

What is the purpose of sending a string message with a backslash to a GUI element? Are you trying to escape the dollar sign so that the label literally shows '$1' in it?

I was trying to get the label boxes to update when updating the MobMuPlat Java GUI sliders. The Label boxes updates when using / run from the tablet but when using the sliders in the MobMuPlat Java GUI on the PC the sliders won't update the "label boxes"

Just send a message without a backslash list /myLabel $1 or send a message to an object: list prepend /myLabel
