That is unfortunately a known bug. You can add them instead to the
"startup flags" field in the "Startup" preferences pane. I use a
custom preferences file for debugging:

Remove the '-debug' and drop it into ~/Library/Preferences to use
it. You can edit it also with the Apple Property List Editor.

hi all,

I'm trying to start Pd from the OSX terminal with command line
options.

For example, /Applications/Pd-0.41-4.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -open /Users/ nick/Desktop/testpatch.pd

This successfully opens Pd, but ignores the options (ie, doesn't load the testpatch.pd)

I've tried it on OSX 10.5 and 10.4, with Pd basic and extended, all with no success.

How can I use command line options for Pd on OSX?

thanks, Nick Mariette
