Browsing with the browser through the docs and examples, I run into a PDF file that that I generated from the tex source in tutorials/externals-howto (I copied this under /usr/local/lib/pd/doc from a download). Naively I thought I will click on the PDF and it will open in a PDF viewer. That didn't happen. Rather PD got stuck and I could only forcibly cancel it.
Is there a way to define external viewers for files, e.g. a list of the kind: pdf /usr/bin/acroread text /usr/bin/gvim mov /usr/bin/xine txt internal [mM]akefile internal TODO internal .... Get the drift?. If there isn't such capability, can someone point for me at the PD source that makes the decisions with what program to open files (i.e. where it says if (!strcmp(suffix, ".pd") { open_with_pd(file) } or whatever is that it says) and if that is ok with the maintainers, I will incorporate this functionality and submit a patch for consideration. I am far too new to PD to try to find this myself.
Thanks, -P
