understand the wish for flexible colours etc, but hc, thanks a lot for the work! there is something however that i don't understand: why is it that
pd-ext doesn't load all the libs it comes with? the .plist it comes with
contains 10 entries for loadlib, while in my tweaked prefs file for an earlier version, there are 36.Hm, not knowing my way around OS-X-Pd, but: This sound bad.
This is just the same as else where. The prefs panel currently only
shows 10 items.
Isn't it possible on OS-X to tweak a preference file once and for all and use it with each new Pd version like the ~/.pdrc and ~/.pdsettings files are kept on Linux? Or asked in a different way: how do you make a new pd-extended use a personal plist?
That is done by having a preference file (called
org.puredata.pd.plist) in ~/Library/Preferences. To quote Hans [1]:
"Pd-extended.app/Contents/org.puredata.pd.default.plist
This one comes with Pd-extended and sets the default preferences. If
someone creates, ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.list, this one
will be ignored.
Pd-extended.app/Contents/org.puredata.pd.plist
If this file is present inside of the Pd-extended.app, then that Pd- extended.app will use those preferences, and ignore any other, always."
This is how it works in the Pd-extended-0.39.2 release and is
intended, as i see it.
That said there might be issues whit this exact feature in the
nightly builds, which relates - directly i think- to what Robbert
experience. See [2] aka bug report #1826701.
