Re: [PD] PD Launcher/External Manager

Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:

But a related question is, what is preventing Windows from having a .pdrc? Anybody know? Having .pdrc be standard across all platforms would simplify this effort.

Windows doesn't have the notion of a HOME-directory (it doesn't even have a real "bin" or "PATH", like we're used to on Linux or OS-X).

So we would need to make a personal HOME dir for Pd on Windwows. Mozilla is a good example of how this could work. Just let the user create a Pd-Home like Mozilla lets them create a "Profile"-directory. Into that, we could then put the .pdrc and also some standard locations for externals and so on there.
