Hi Cyrille (and Iohannes),
This is embarrassing; I consulted the [pd~] help file many times, but I somehow didn’t find the right placement for the -nogui flag and kept getting errors – I thought I was missing something basic. With your kind encouragement, I have found the right syntax:
[pd~ start -nogui foo.pd(
Hope this can help someone else as dumb as me.
Phil

Hi all,
I hope this is a quick question: is it possible for a [pd~ start foo.pd( message to **not** open/display foo.pd’s canvas? This seems like it might be a job for ‘-nogui’, but I’ve had no luck with that (and where would it go, if it’s the answer)?
Thanks for any enlightenment,
The answer is in pd~ help file!
"pd~ start" takes as arguments any startup flags you wish to send the sub-process. For example, specify "-nogui" to stop the sub-process's GUI from appearing.
cheers Cyrille
