Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: feature Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: gusano (elgusanorojo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: add gui preferences system via conf files
Initial Comment: this patch adds a gui-preferences system, right now for recent files only. recently opened files are written in the user-app-config directory (i.e. ~/.config/pure-data/recentfiles.conf on linux) and read when pd launches. this was tested on linux and osx only (I don't have access to a win32 machine). see the following related threads: http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-dev@iem.at/msg09330.html http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-dev@iem.at/msg09351.html

Message: I finally found the time to make a new patch: - added support for osx preferences and windows registry - new file is now added to recentfiles if it's saved - better error handling - better doc (pd_guiprefs) - bugfix 3192731 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3192731&group_id=557...)
the patch was tested on archlinux, ubuntu10.10 and osx 10.5.8 on windows I could only test the registry stuff in a tclsh prompt, please test !

Message: This is looking good, I just have a couple comments:
- I think you should manually edit pkgIndex.tcl. the script made a bunch of changes, that are not really relevant and might affect other things. You just need to add a single line for pd_guiprefs.tcl
- preferences on Mac OS X are stored in ~/Library/Preferences rather than ~/Library/Application Support/pure-data. Ideally, this patch would also use the terminal tool 'defaults read' and 'defaults write' to create a proper Mac OS X .plist preferences file. Its not hard to do, you can see how Pd currently does it in pd/src/s_file.c. Windows needs to use the registry, that's even easier because Tcl has the built -in 'registry' command.
