Can someone using PD on Windows please send me whatever the DOS prompt command is that starts PD on their system? I'm working on some documentation and I don't have a Windows box anywhere in sight.
thx, d.
go to working directory ../pd/bin/ within the DOS-prompt type pd -h you get a list of start-up-options as follows:
C:\pd\bin>pd -h usage: pd [-flags] [file]...
audio configuration flags: -r <n> -- specify sample rate -audioindev ... -- audio in devices; e.g., "1,3" for first and third -audiooutdev ... -- audio out devices (same) -audiodev ... -- specify input and output together -inchannels ... -- audio input channels (by device, like "2" or "16,8") -outchannels ... -- number of audio out channels (same) -channels ... -- specify both input and output channels -audiobuf <n> -- specify size of audio buffer in msec -blocksize <n> -- specify audio I/O block size in sample frames -sleepgrain <n> -- specify number of milliseconds to sleep when idle -nodac -- suppress audio output -noadc -- suppress audio input -noaudio -- suppress audio input and output (-nosound is synonym) -listdev -- list audio and MIDI devices -asio -- use ASIO audio driver (via Portaudio) -pa -- synonym for -asio -mmio -- use MMIO audio API (default for Windows) (default audio API for this platform: MMIO)
MIDI configuration flags: -midiindev ... -- midi in device list; e.g., "1,3" for first and third -midioutdev ... -- midi out device list, same format -mididev ... -- specify -midioutdev and -midiindev together -nomidiin -- suppress MIDI input -nomidiout -- suppress MIDI output -nomidi -- suppress MIDI input and output
other flags: -path <path> -- add to file search path -nostdpath -- don't search standard ("extra") directory -stdpath -- search standard directory (true by default) -helppath <path> -- add to help file search path -open <file> -- open file(s) on startup -lib <file> -- load object library(s) -font <n> -- specify default font size in points -verbose -- extra printout on startup and when searching for files -version -- don't run Pd; just print out which version it is -d <n> -- specify debug level -noloadbang -- suppress all loadbangs -stderr -- send printout to standard error instead of GUI -nogui -- suppress starting the GUI -guiport <n> -- connect to pre-existing GUI over port <n> -guicmd "cmd..." -- start alternatve GUI program (e.g., remote via ssh) -send "msg..." -- send a message at startup, after patches are loaded

Hi Georg,
thanks. But I wanted a "real world" example. I don't remember what the rest of the path used to look like. Some kind of "My\ Programs/blah/blah/blah" business. Whatever the default Windows place is...

but that depends, where you copy your pd folder ... On a german system it could be C:\Programme\Pd\bin\pd.exe !

Yes, I know.
But this is getting silly. It's really a simple question I'm asking ;-)
I am writing an article, and I just wanted to show one example of this path for each OS. Can someone with an English language Windows system and a default PD installation please send me the DOS command prompt which that particular system uses to start PD?
Thanks, derek

With the Pd-extended installers, you start it from the Start Menu.
Start -> Pure Data -> Pure Data
Pd-extended and Pd vanilla are installed into %PROGRAMFILES%\pd\bin \pd.exe.
%PROGRAMFILES is a environment variable that varies depending on the
language of the install. Some possibilties:
C:\Program Files C:\Programme C:\Archivos de programa
%PROGRAMFILES%\pd\bin\pd.com runs Pd but keeps the CMD.EXE window open.

Is there an escape character possible here?
As in "C:\Program/ Files\pd\bin\pd.exe"? I remember this space was a problem when I was trying this on Windows long ago.
