Hello,
I'm wondering what the command line option '-d <n>' does. I can see some print in terminal when running pd with '-d 1' or '-d 3' but why '-d 2' doesn't do anything. What's the number really means ?
the "-d" is really there to debug the pd<->gui communication, as it allows you to monitor the messages sent from one process to the other.
the actual number is an ORed accumulation of (two) flags that specify which direction you want to get printed to stderr:
PD2GUI=0x01 // 1 GUI2PD=0x10 // 2
so $ pd -d 3 indicates that you want see PD2GUI|GUI2PD communication (that is: see all communication that is going on between the two processes)
with either 2 or 3 you should get *lots* of printout if you open a patch and move the mouse over it.
