hi
The uPDated package does have a double-clickable .app package, but I would not say that it conforms to the MacOS X way. First off, when it launches, there are two icons, one for the Platypus system that it uses with a Pd icon, and one for the Wish Shell with the standard Wish Shell icon. This is actually more confusing than just having the Wish Shell icon running because clicking on the Pd icon doesn't take you to Pd, but just the launcher, which seems to do nothing once Wish Shell is running.
I have this fixed now, I'll upload it soon, it's still hacky although, it is done by killing one of the processes in the script ;)
Plus, Pd is still labeled "Wish" once its running.
and this is not fixed
It also suffers from MacOS X not wanting to show the /doc/ directory.
oop, this should be fixed in the version on the server
The AppMain.tcl script is the way things need to be done in order to have Pd behave like a MacOS X application.
you're right, but I couldn't figure how to doit the wavesurfer way without modifying the pd source. The paltypus way has its advantages:
- you can switch your pd version without recompiling (s long as it
works with your tcl/tk)
- you can do stuff in the startup script. The new version has a quite
cool feature: it scans directories recursively, so that you can install externals, abstractons, libraries and help files via drag and drop :)
