Quoting patrick puredata@11h11.com:
hi,
i am making a video tutorial on how to install and use pd-extended / pdmtl on windows. i want to load a patch when opening puredata. i've installed puredata extended in C:/Program Files/pd (default). the patch that i want to load is located in C:/Program Files/pd/extra/pdmtl/1.browser.pd
i did modify the startup box by adding -open C:/Program Files/pd/extra/pdmtl/1.browser.pd (after -helppath), but it's crashing pd (had to reinstall it). putting the patch in C:/ and -open C:/1.browser.pd is working. anyone can help me?
afaik you can use environemen variables with pd-extended (though not with pd-vanilla): %ProgramFiles%/pd/extra/pdmtl/1.browser.pd should work, and it will also work on non-english machines. (if i had windoze, i wouldn't have "C:\Program Files" but rather "C:\Programme")
