Why introduce a new method of configuration when you can do this
all with Pd messages? It seems to me to overcomplicate things for
a tiny gain. Gem is already complicated as it is, now there is yet
another way to configure it: messages, env vars, and a special conf
file. I don't see any reason why this all can't be handled by
messages and a [loadbang].the nice thing is that you don't have to use it if you don't like
it....i will not use it because i also prefer the "everything in one
patch" : you have less surprises when sharing patches. (that is also why i think a good patch is a patch that could start
with -nopref flag on pd startup)
I totally agree, we should be working towards everything in the patch,
and they should work with pd -nopref. Sure, no one has to use it, but
if someone does use it, and then you want to use their patch, then you
have to use
but i would understand someone that set gemwin framerate at 50 fps
because the default 20 fps is a nonsense...cyrille
Isn't that changed by doing [gemwin 50]? That doesn't seem so hard
that a gem.conf is needed.
