Alex: If the question is really "hey, can we have that 'make an app' option that Pd-extended had?"
yup
then it perhaps makes sense to first look at the code in Pd-extended which did this action:
https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/pd-extended/ci/master/tree/tcl/pd_menuco...
which calls
https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/pd-extended/ci/master/tree/tcl/makeapp.t...
I had done that, but my knowledge is limited, I just got that it did with tcl/tk and so I asked if we could have this as some tcl/tk plugin, but I wouldn't know if there was something else in the way I just couldn't see...
I imagine it could be ported to a gui plugin that would create a standalone "app" using the version of Pd and the current platform. As Christof mentions, it's basically copying the Pd install into a new folder and renaming some stuff. For Mac, that folder is the .app bundle and follows a rather strict layout. This could reasonably be extended for Windows and Linux.
Awesome, so it seems there's nothing "unreasonable". I'll put a pin on this then, and talk to a friend who already worked with tcl/tk plugins to see if he'd be interested in doing this.
thanks
