I've tried, but I can't figure out how, in Windows at least, to suppress the terminal window altogether, and without being able to do that there
seems
little reason to redirect the output to the one window over the other. Plus, I'm convinced throwing the output on the terminal is more efficient than anything I could get running in Tk without hacking into the native window systems...
As already brought up some time ago, there should be a way to redirect the console posts. Why not make PD a native Windows application (as opposed to a console application) then? I think that way also the "MIDI in active, don't close the console window" thing disappears.
