That's useful, but up until recently you had to create a second instance of Pd from the command line anyway, since OSX would show you the instance you already had if you tried to open it from the operating system.
Or...have I missed the point? My friend and collaborator always needs two Pd's, one for Gemnotes and one for audio processing, to play my musioc...and we wrote a BASH script to launch the gemnotes one after the audio one was set up.

One more thing can be annoying on OSX: If you open a second instance of Pd, the same patch as in the first will be opened.
One good thing to do is to create an AppleScript for opening Pd from the Terminal:
- Open AppleScript Editor and past the line: (of course adapt Pd-xxxx.app)
tell application "Terminal" to do script "/Applications/Pd-0.45-2.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd"
- Export as Application and put wherever you want.. Now you can open
multiple instances of Pd with that .app, and patches won't be loaded automatically.
Actually funny how complicated things get because of "user experience optimizations".

i assume, you are working on OSX: got to system preferences, click on the General Settings tab un-tick the box "restore windows when quitting and re-opening

Dear all
Is there any function to prevent the opening of last patch when you start pd or pd-extended?
how do you trigger that behaviour? it doesn't do that here.
