Hey Hans-Chrisoph,
I've never used .pdrc so I suppose it needs to be in the home directory? This does seem natural.
I looked at the plist file and everything looks like its getting set and read on that end, nothing garbled. Indeed I am now seeing my abstractions loading fine, looks like its just the libs that are failing, Gem, OSC, zexy, all the stuff I've put in "startup"
I'll try a pdrc now.
Thanks for the pointers.

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.
