Hey All,
Part of my needs for the launcher is the ability to start multiple configuration sets, not just a single configuration. Can one point PD to using another .pdrc file? (pd -rc c:\windows\profiles\bbogart.pdrc-EMI)
This would be useful for a default configuration... I'm really not sold on the pdrc as a way of storing sets of configs, I think scripts (under linux and OSX) and shortcuts (under windows) is the best way for that, that way the configs are seperate from the laucher program, which only manages (and/or starts PD) the config sets.
Thoughts?
B.

that would probably work, right?
Ah, wonderful. Then we indeed do have Home at least on XP, NT and 2000, and that's, where the pdrc can go.

I'd love to see an option to specify a config file to use. Normally I run pd with high scheduling for better stability. But then, if I test some adventurous externals (by me) pd sometimes hangs, so I remove the "-rt" option before. But sometimes I just forget it or forget to put it back in (I'd also prefer to have comments in .pdrc back ;) That's why I'd like to be able to start pd for example like: "pd -rc config-for-experimenting" and "pd -rc config-playing-live"

Hello all. Not a developer, so make of this what you will, but all
this talk of a default directory in Windows makes me wonder why the pd-launcher upon installation doesn't just ask the user for their Pd directory and then store that information in an ini file, or even better, a reg key.

WinNT/2k/XP have a home directory available here: %USERPROFILE% (in Unix-speak: $USERPROFILE). Therefore a reg key or ini file would only be necessary for Win9x/ME.
