i would like to propose that ~/Library/Preferences/ org.puredata.pd.plist will be completely ignored by pd-extended. instead only the org.puredata.pd.plist inside the pd-extended app should be used. this way one could have different working setups. what do you think?
This resembles a feature request i made, cf. <http:// sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=1818177&group_id=55736&atid=478073>. (So I
encourage this.)I think people want to save preferences for Pd-extended too.
If there was such option in Pd-extended then people could do either
of two to save preferences for Pd-extended:
- Enable 'use "internal preferences"' and edit those.
- Disable 'use "internal preferences"' and edit the normal
preferences.
It should properly be disabled as standard to suit most users need.
I was thinking that is might be nice to have multiple settings
"profiles" that you could load and save from the prefs pane with it's
own GUI like David Golighty's path/startup panes.
