Hey Yvan,
It's great that you are taking this on, its definitely useful. I think that it might make more sense to create a separate GUI-only preference system. Its something that I had planned on trying, but hadn't found the time, so it'd be great if you beat me to it!
This way it would be a lot easier to deal with, you can do everything from Tcl.
hi,
well I'm trying.. a "separate GUI-only preference system" would mean a separate dot file then (like .pdgui) ?
why not make a ~/.pd/ folder and put your preferences for your plugin in there? this woul dallow for less clutter in the home-directory and bundle all the pd-related settings nicely together.
and so far, this would contain only recentfiles right ?
~/.pd/recentfiles.conf would always only contain recentfiles configuration.
That's a good idea, but I think it should fit into the Free Desktop Standards. Isn't that something like ~/.local/pd? Then that does not cover Windows, which uses the registry, and Mac OS X, which uses the 'defaults' system.
