PR is malformed

Thanks for taking time making your pull request. Unfortunately, your pull request is not configured correctly. Please make sure that

1. the PR target is develop: On top it should say

<username> wants someone to merge <N> commits into openframeworks:develop from <username>:PR-branch

2. the PR contains only the changes you want merged. Check the "Commits" and "Diff" tabs for unintended changes, like project files, OS-specific files like thumbnails, etc.

3. the PR contains (typically) only changes in connection with one bug/feature. If you have several different things you want merged, separate them into different PRs.
