Hey all,
I think the PD cvs is the place for the project, but since its not an external where should it go? (should we have a new module for it?)
The implimentation will be tcl/tk anyhow, and fully cross-platform. There will be at least one dependancy of the shortcut.dll lib for tcl/tk under windows.
I think a home on the PD menu would be a great place for this project, IF PD could load externals and change flags on the fly. (without restarting) without this having it the menu would make little sense, if It is to be integrated into PD without the ability to do this then it would be a kind of splash page, starting up before PD, but then how to deal with loading and saving multiple configuration sets? I think the most elegant solution would be to run it seperate from PD. Mind you I think it would be amazing if PD would load/remove libs and change audio settings on the fly, is this even possible?

Wouldn't it be the best thing to have such a thing as part of pd (Accessable from the menu) ?
This would be possible on the CVS. Of course this would limit the implementation to tcl/tk and C, but it would be another step into building a pd developer community.

Matt and I are getting ramped up for the coding, still designing
right now.
We're thinking about starting it as a sourceforge project, or
should we code it in the PD CVS?
Its called LME, and it will have the following functions (on
OSX, Linux and Windows):
- Turn on and off flags
- Add flag options
- Add Lib(s)
- Remove Lib(s)
- Configure (edit conf file) [ where is PD, where to scan for
libs, etc.. ]
- Load Config Set [ Config sets will be executable without the
manager! sh scripts in Linux, .commands in OSX, and shortcuts in Windows ]
- Save Config Set
- Launch PD with Open Set
- Quit
- About
Feedback? Those interested in collaboration please drop me a line.

Even without this - i.e. with restarting Pd - this would be best placed into a Pd-window menu. The reason is mostly usability. An external launcher would be another program to run.
