Hi list, and thanks to IOhannes for neatly packing up pd 0.48 for Debian testing. On my system the path preference dialog features a largely hidden line with a checkbox that can't be made visible by enlarging the window (see attached screenshot). Is this the case on someone else's system too?
I am trying to put the -noautopatch option into .pdsettings and am wondering about its syntax and where to find information about that syntax. Is it noautopatch: True or noautopatch: 1 or autopatch: False or autopatch: 0 ? I feel a bit stupid trying it all out and not having some reference to how .pdsettings works when editing by hand (as -noautopatch, thanks god, is not settable by GUI).
Thanks again! Peter

the .pdsettings has a small set of keys; you can see *all* keys¹ if you save the settings once and then inspect the .pdsettings file. esp, the keys in .pdsettings DO NOT relate to the cmdline arguments.
so given the existence of a "-foobar" cmdline flag, does not imply the existence of a "foobar" key in .pdsettings.
you can set an arbitrary cmdling flag in the .pdsettings by adding it to the "flags" section (either via the GUI (preferred) or by editing the .pdsettings.
so in your case, you should have something like the following in your .pdsettings: flags: -noautopath

Understood, thanks again!

This is a footnote I don't understand.
