This plugin causes the Quartz Composer Editor to align all of the patches to the grid in the background of the editor window.

This is the first public release of our "Texture" patch --- a set of 26 patches for procedural texture generation, using techniques derived from Perlin Noise.

This is pretty much a 1-to-1 translation of the excellent libnoise project, so the standard libnoise documentation applies verbatim.

Unlike other patches, this patch is LGPL consequent to libnoise being LGPL.

Known issues:

• module::Curve and module::Terrace haven't yet been translated as they require some additional interface elements not currently present in Quartz Composer.
• The new "KinemeTexture" QCPort type doesn't properly handle cable removal --- so the Texture port is left hanging with a stale object. If you try to save the composition while a Texture port is disconnected, QC will throw the following exception:

  -[KinemeTexturePort stateValue]: Function not implemented

  (This exception isn't the problem itself, just a side-effect. Any ideas about how we can catch the cable removal action?) When this happens, don't panic --- you should be able to recover from the exception, attach a cable, and save the composition properly.

This update to the Folder Movies Patch includes multiple improvements and fixes:

• Now re-scans when input path changes, when patch is disabled/re-enabled, and on Start-up
• Composition-relative addressing
• Metadata file matching — way better than just using extensions
• Option to find Quartz Composer Compositions, to feed to our Image With Composition Patch

This is a rewritten version of @smokris's old File Type Patch. This version supports non-ascii file names and adds composition-relative addressing.

This update to the Shell Command Patch improves security by limiting where the patch can be used.
