is there a way to open 2 instances of Pd (0.41) on os-x?
Yes, if you run the executable from a CLI, fx. Terminal(.app).
so i have to directly run the executable and _not_ the application.
e.g. "% open /Users/me/Desktop/Pd-0.41" will NOT work but, this will work: "% /Users/me/Desktop/Pd-0.41/Contents/MacOS/Pd" as well as "% /Users/me/Desktop/Pd-0.41/Contents/Ressources/bin/pd"
correct?
Well... it's kind of weird. And I'm no Mac expert. But to try to
answer the question...
Yes. Running "% open /Applications/Pd-0.41-0" wont work. It will not
open Pd at all.
Yes. Running "% open /Applications/Pd-0.41-0.app" twice wont start
two instances of Pd.
No. Running "% /Applications/Pd-0.41-0.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd" wont
work. It starts the GUI but doesn't so called 'work right'.
Yes. Running % /Applications/Pd-0.41-0.app/Contents/Ressources/bin/
pd" twice will start two instances of Pd.
No. Those two are not equivalent.
What i've done is, that i've made an alias i .profile that points to
"/Applications/Pd-0.41-0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd". It respects
some of the startup flags, but sadly not "-open file.pd".
