/Applications(or whatever)/Pd-0.38-0test7.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -lib /path/to/your/lib seems to work, only you loose the icon and app personality

I really like this idea, and it gets back to old LML configuration sets idea. It would be easy to write a little gui app that looks in your $HOME for *.pdrc and brings them up as a list of choices when you start pd.
Back to messing with pd.app I would like to get this to work because it would make stand-alone PD installations on OSX a lot easier... I'm just anoyed I can't make it load libs!
Thanks Ben
hi,
i know that several people refuse .pdrc exactly because of ben's reason. wouldn't it be good to have the opportunity to load an arbitrary configuration file instead of .pdrc (via a parameter like -c <file>)
i just realise that it is anyway not very gnu how pd handles parameters. more usual/standard would be -p and --path, -o and --open. but that's not really this important...
hans : is the pd0.38 app to be placed in /applications or does it really work from everywhere now? i remember that it once was necessary for an osx build, but that was not yours, was it? as i told this to a number of people now i would definitely like to know :-)

The .pdrc functionality is unchanged in .38, AFAIK. I don't know what's the root of your problem, but it would be good to figure it out so that paths work. The "startup" stuff is saved in ~/Library/Preferences/com.ucsd.pd.plist, but I think this will be changing to ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist

Ok, well putting the .app in applications did not change anything, its still not finding any of my externals (even though I copied them into the extra folder inside the pd.app. I don't get it.
Where do I put the PDRC when using the .app?
Thanks, Ben
hi,
i think it is still necessary to put the pd.app directly in /applications. if you don't do so strange things happen.
it is easiest to put your own externals into /applications/pd.app/contents/resources/extra as this folder is in the search path and all the externals that come with the package are in there. gem is also already there.
why don't you want to use a .pdrc? it works, you know ...

Hey all,
I can't figure out how to get the PD.app to load my externals/libs. I can add the paths easily enough but when I try and put anything into the "startup" setup pd can't find it. I've tried absolute paths, relative paths, paths relative to pd paths... still can't get it to load my stuff. It can't seem to find my abstractions either so I guess -path options are not working either.
for example my Gem is installed in:
/Users/admin/work/libs/cgc/Gem.pd_darwin
And console reports:
tried /Users/admin/work/libs/cgc/Gem .pd_darwin and failed tried /Users/admin/work/libs/cgc/Gem //Users/admin/work/libs/cgc/Gem .pd_darwin and failed /Users/admin/work/libs/cgc/Gem : can't load library
Where are these options stored? I could try editing the file manually to get things moving (maybe) Any other way to supply PD with commandline args with the pd.app (other than .pdrc)?.
I start my old pd-0.37-1 with:
~/work/pd/bin/pd -rt -helppath ~/work/abstractions-tot-help -path ~/work/extra -path ~/work/libs -path ~/work/abstractions-v -path ~/work/abstractions-tot -nosound -lib cgc/Gem:pmpd:OSC:zexy:pool
(Oh and in the console I get error: .printout.text: no such object) which is caused by Apple-C to copy the console buffer.
Thanks B.
