What I'd like to see is a standard Pd patch that is loaded in the

if you can configure Pd with a Pd patch, then you don't need to
learn any new preferences file format or system.From what you had said, it wasn't clear whether you wanted something
involving pd patches. "make GUI plugins replace[...]" sounds like it
would all be handled by new tcl files, possibly lots of them, and it
doesn't sound like something that would involve any pd patch at all.
I don't know how it will really take shape. Pd prefs should probably
be in Pd syntax. The GUI is written in Tcl, so it makes sense to keep
the GUI stuff in Tcl. But one or multiple files, or which language or
syntax is all up in the air in my book. I've been working to provide
the raw elements for people to work with and hopefully Pd people will
shape this system in a way that works best. That seems the most Pd-
ish to me.
