You can also do the "app from a patch" under the File menu, which will create a custom Pd-extended.app for you, with custom prefs in the plist file. Then edit the included plist file, and you have a self-contained custom Pd.app with your patch.

Hello,
There is some other possibilities on osx, To use two different preferences files, make sure you have no preference file saved locally (in ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pdextended.plist) In this case Pd-extended search for its default preference file inside itself in: /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/org.puredata.pdextended.default.plist
So if you duplicate the application Pd-extended.app for example in Pd-extended-audio.app, you'll have two different preference files.
Otherwise, you can save in a patch informations regarding the audio/midi configuration, see for example [get-audio-dialog] from pdx, then you can launch two instance of pd (with command line) with two different patches and settings. best, n

Hi,

Now here's a question - wouldn't it be nice to be able to have Pd automatically do this by (for instance) looking at the app's name and using that to figure out what preferences to load? On the other hand, maybe in other circumstances you woudn't want that behavior... hmm.
What about a -preffile command-line option ?
There are already many possibilities with some shell scripting (even on a Mac) :
echo "Starting the right Pd v-model"
/Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -nomidi -noaudio -open v-right-model.pd -send "preset-file ../video-presets/right.coll;" &
echo "Starting the left Pd v-model";
/Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -stderr -nomidi -noaudio -open v-left-model.pd -send "preset-file ../video-presets/left.coll;" &
But i agree a specific -preffile option would be great.
