I think this is because on the Mac when you click-open a patch the OS doesn't tell Pd about the patch until after Pd is running (so the "send" was already tried.) A workaround would be to put the patch as well in the Pd command line. I don't know how to fix this in general.

I have never used this startup flag, maybe it is not supported under osx? I can only suggest to use another method to pass startup arguments for patches. I usually do this with textfiles. I find this useful especially when I develop patches for other people or if I want to use the patch in several locations, then people can have their own "settings" for the patch, and nothing is destroyed when I do more development on the patch inbetween. I use textfile to read the file and spit it out on startup. and then do the settings from within the patch. marius.

Hi list,
I have a problem with the -send "msg ..." startup flag on osx. On linux the flag -send "receive_name "message"" works perfect to have the object [r receive_name] receive "message" at startup. On osx with the same syntax I got this in the console: error: "receive_name: no such object I've tried with some other combinations -send "receive_name message" -send ";receive_name "message"" without success.
Anyone has an idea to make that flag works? I'm using Pd-0.40-3-extended-20080117 on osx 10.4.11 Thanks
Nicolas
