Ok, so it seems there was some kind of
permissions
problem. I reset the permissions and zipped it with the native
zipper.

In windows, one thing I'm seeing is that when you try to close a patch, it just reappears in the top left corner of the screen.
Here's what's printed to the console:
Running pdtk_fixwindowmenu Running pdtk_fixwindowmenu ::pd_bindings::window_configure .pdwindow ::pd_bindings::window_focusin .pdwindow ::pd_bindings::window_configure .xd78338 ::pd_bindings::window_configure .xd78338 ::pd_bindings::window_configure .xd78338 ::pd_bindings::window_configure .pdwindow ::pd_bindings::window_focusin .xd78338

Ok, lots of work, including quite a bit on the Windows front. The file is called the same thing for Windows, but its a new file with a bunch of changes:

For all of the platforms, you can stay up to date by following the 'svn update' instructions in the above page.

Cool!
Thanks for testing and reporting bugs!
Do you have any examples of what can be done with the tcl window at
the bottom of the console?
You can run anything Tcl. try running "menu_message_dialog" or
"console show". Look in pd/startup for examples of things to do with
Tcl.
Here's a couple of things I see right off:
- The check mark for "Edit Mode" is too faint until you mouse over it.
on the todo list
- clicking the "Text Editor" gives the following error:
invalid command name "menu_texteditor" invalid command name "menu_texteditor" while executing "menu_texteditor $::focused_window" (menu invoke)
not implemented and perhaps unneeded
- "Preferences" give the following error:
invalid command name "menu_preferences_dialog" invalid command name "menu_preferences_dialog" while executing "menu_preferences_dialog" (menu invoke)
not implemented yet
- File->Message (ctrl-m) doesn't work
Fixed, 'svn up' and try again.
- If you try to close a window, it gets moved to the top left of the
screen. (But it does close after going through the "Discard Changes" dialog)
strange... noted
- The gui level meter for "IN" displays three bars when you turn on
the level meter and DSP.
That's the noise level of your sound input. Those meters need to be
calibrated. They are currently pretty rough.
- The recent files in the "file" menu don't persist after you close
Pd.
Yeah, its not stored yet, first we need to figure out a framework for
storing things like that.
- "Audio settings..." and "MIDI settings..." don't work
Fixed, 'svn up' and try again.
- If you make a subpatch and choose "Parent window" from the "Window"
menu, the parent window is moved to the top left corner
noted.
- Help->About gives the following error:
can't read "pd_myversion": no such variable can't read "pd_myversion": no such variable while executing "regsub -all PD_VERSION $bigstring2 $pd_myversion bigstring3" (procedure "::pd_menucommands::menu_opentext" line 15) invoked from within "::pd_menucommands::menu_opentext "$dirname/$basename""
not implemented yet, on the todo list
- Find only works the first time.
noted
- Help->Browser window is too narrow, and the text is too small
Fixed, 'svn up' and try again.
- (probably old, but I just noticed) When you choose an item from
the "Put" menu, it initially doesn't line up with the mouse pointer
(click on VU meter but don't move the mouse at all, and you'll see it).
Yeah, that's an old one, it uses the last known mouse position.
That's handle in 'pd', so the C code.
