Hi,

trying Pd-0.47.1 ("") compiled for Debian (0.47.1-3) and the -listdev startup flag does not post any devices to the Pd window unless -stderr is specified as well. Is this intentional?

i think it's a race condition: the output of listdev gets sent to the pd-gui, but the gui is not ready yet to display anything, so it gets lost.

most likely, Pd should use "stderr" as default print target (even without "-stderr") and only switch to the GUI's print target once the GUI and the core are indeed connected (and we are not in "-stderr" mode)

Thanks for the explanation! I hope this is easy enough to implement so it finds its way into one of the next updates.

Best, P
