Being able to run "wish u_main.tk" would actually be really helpful to app to make a proper MacOS X .app. So unless it breaks things, I am for it.
Cool, I may attempt that eventually.
With all of these changes that you are making, its going to be hard to get them merged into the core.
I know that.
Do you have any plans to break out the changes into individual patches, maybe, to make it more palettable?
I am afraid I can't make it more palatable for most of the changes. The main reason is that the GUI changes are actually a gradual rewrite of the whole of IEMGUI, and then I'm also changing the base Pd GUI as well, and turning it into something quite completely different code-wise that just will happen to be 99% compatible with the old one. Look at pd_upload() and sys_mgui() and u_object.tk for examples of what I'm going towards...
It would be a shame to see your code turn into a permanent fork
I won't personally do the big work on the devel<->impd merging, but I am certainly not against it, whenever impd gets back to stable enough.
or not get used.
And according to you, why wouldn't a lot of people switch to the impd branch? especially if it gets to beta and gets exported and released and binaries are available...
For me, a some key things don't work with impd, like [tot] IIRC. And if Miller's changes aren't maintained in impd, then there would be a fork. Already, a bunch of useful stuff has been forgotten in the devel_0_36 branch, for whatever reason.
