Hurrah, great work Hans... Pd is starting to feel quite native on the Mac. The app-generator is fantastic. I've got quite a few patches designed for just such a thing.

I've got a two month old Mac Pro 2.8x8 that takes 15 minutes to load one of my more complex patches (as I mentioned in another thread). I never timed it before this development, but it was probably in the 1-2 minute range (which I thought was long at the time :)). I'll start going through the autobuilds to see if I can narrow down when the loading issue began. Other than that, I'm very happy. Thanks for all your hard work as always.
