actually that is why i used the open_via_path() method. this should allow to add a path with the ff-plugins at the startup and pd will find it automatically (btw, the same is true for font- loading). the code for resolving the full filename is in the constructor of pix_freeframe, so you might have overlooked it.
and currently you must append ".frf" to the end of the plugin's name
but doesn't this:
- #elif defined __APPLE__
".frf";take care of the extensions?
...well, I thought so, to but notice the following: in the first try I used [pix_freeframe Chromium.frf] and in the second [pix_freeframe Chromium]

...so it seems that instead of just appending .frf, it's appending ; also? I haven't figured out why yet, so maybe you have an idea...?
...also, without knowing too much about the freeframe spec, I'm wondering if there's a way to get or "register" the default values, or even the range of the individual parameters? Would be nice to create an auto-setup kinda abstraction...
