great, thanks a lot Hans!

btw it gave me the occasion to rebuild pd and some extensions from source on hardy...

Actually i am having troubles with Gem, pix_record and libquicktime
after some investigations i noticed that libquicktime1 provokes a segfault of pix_record
libquicktime1 comes from archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe

something else which is rather strange:
i use pix_record to store as a jpeg mov file 800x600 pictures but once written the movie file actually display 800x608 frames (and a beautiful 8 pixels wide green stuff). I can trim them later on with mencoder so not a big issue, but i wish i could understand why this is happening.

best,
Vincent

By the way, this should be fixed to make more sense in the latest builds:

- default saveas folder is PWD on GNU/Linux and Windows

- default saveas folder is Home folder (~/) on Mac OSX

- new patches default to the folder last saved in

Hello Hans and list,
using Pd-0.40.3-extended-rc1-ubuntu-hardy-i386.deb,
if i launch a patch (from the command line) in a directory say /data/dir1 where belong my_patch1.pd and my_patch2.pd :
cd /data/dir1
pd my_patch1.pd

if i save as my_patch1.pd , pd automatically starts browsing from /data/dir1
but as for the creation of a new patch or the opening of a previous patch, pd will start browsing from the home repertory.
i know that there have been a lengthy discussion on this subject but still, i am a bit puzzled by this choice. is there a way to set with the command line, the start directory (open/save,saveas) to the current directory ?

best regards,
vincent
