Well... it's kind of weird. And I'm no Mac expert. But to try to answer the question... Yes. Running "% open /Applications/Pd-0.41-0" wont work. It will not open Pd at all. Yes. Running "% open /Applications/Pd-0.41-0.app" twice wont start two instances of Pd. No. Running "% /Applications/Pd-0.41-0.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd" wont work. It starts the GUI but doesn't so called 'work right'. Yes. Running % /Applications/Pd-0.41-0.app/Contents/Ressources/bin/ pd" twice will start two instances of Pd. No. Those two are not equivalent. What i've done is, that i've made an alias i .profile that points to "/Applications/Pd-0.41-0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd". It respects some of the startup flags, but sadly not "-open file.pd". _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
