Hi all,
I have two questions:
Is there a way i could tell my laptop to use a certain cpu rule from within Pd? In a previous post I was advised to change the cpu rules so as to prevent the processor from lowering it's frequency. I am slightly afraid of frying my laptop if the cpu rule is set on Performance all the time, so i m wondering if i could let Pd choose depending on what subpatch is on. Is there a way to do this using [shell]?
The second question is about [hid]. I use a gamepad as a controller, and depending on when i plug it in [hid] does not always put it in the same rank. So my question is two-fold: how can i access what [hid] prints in the console, is there a way to deal with this as with a plain list? and what are the tools i could use to look up a certain word (i.e. the manufacturer of the gamepad) within this list?
I m sorry, i guess i ought to split this post in two seperate topics, but it's late and i m sleepy.
Thanks!

Pierre
