Re: [PD] start flags

Hey Luke

Where does pd look for .pdrc in OSX?  Does it check somewhere inside
the package itself?  That would be really useful for running different
builds with different parameters.  Or maybe it's just silly.  It's
early.

This requires XCode (aka developer tools, included on your OSX install discs)
I find a combination of .pdrc and the plist to be best, as that way I
don't have to merge my particular customizations into every new build
of PD-extended I download (which I do... rather compulsively : )).

To use .pdrc you'll need a plaintext editor (textedit will do, though
I'm not sure if it will let you save something as a "dot file" – I use
textmate).  Enter your startup flags in the file, one per line.

Mm, so many choices.

Hi dafydd,
It looks in your home directory, e.g. /Users/dayfdd/.pdrc aka ~/.pdrc
So not terribly useful for that.  Bash scripts would work, though.

On OSX, you can edit the 
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist file, using 
the built in "Property List Editor.app" (Control-click for that option 
under "Open With"). I use this much more reliably than the Startup Menu. 
Make sure to do it while PD isn't running, or your changes get 
overwritten when PD closes.


best,

Yes, you can for example use the good ol' command line to start Pd and
enter the flags there directly. You also can write a *.bat (Win) or
*.sh (Mac, Linux, ...) startup file including the command line
arguments you like best.
