This is mainly what I do and would be my first suggestion as well. > The downside is that on Windows and macOS you get a visible terminal > window, but there are workarounds.

I wrote that script heavily borrowing from a script of the same name written for the Inkscape project. Alex: If the question is really "hey, can we have that 'make an app' option that Pd-extended had?" then it perhaps makes sense to first look at the code in Pd-extended which did this action: https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/pd-extended/ci/master/tree/tcl/pd_menucommands.tcl#l313 <https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/pd-extended/ci/master/tree/tcl/pd_menucommands.tcl#l313> which calls https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/pd-extended/ci/master/tree/tcl/makeapp.tcl <https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/pd-extended/ci/master/tree/tcl/makeapp.tcl> I imagine it could be ported to a gui plugin that would create a standalone "app" using the version of Pd and the current platform. As Christof mentions, it's basically copying the Pd install into a new folder and renaming some stuff. For Mac, that folder is the .app bundle and follows a rather strict layout. This could reasonably be extended for Windows and Linux. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>
