hello list,
i was making some searches about tweaking pd-extended's gui to make it "fancier" and not easily editable by casual users (planning some labs with children... but also my band's guitarist can be dangerous!). I have come across various things, but most of them seem to be very outdated. I'm on ubuntu maverick. I've read about:
- a kiosk mode flag, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore
- standalone app maker, only for mac
- GriPD: seems nice but very outdated
- Desire data: last release is one year old and i don't know wheter it has the capabilities i need
- Running pure data with the -nogui flag + Gem (i see Lorenzo Sutton made some objects that could be useful: http://lorenzosu.altervista.org/pd/gem%20gui/)
- an Edit Mode Look plugin, but i don't know how to activate this, i guess by patching the source code (something i'm very unfamiliar with, but i could try...)
I also tought about looking into the pd-l2ork project (currently i'm trying to make it load Gem library), and trying to install pd-extended 0.43 to see if there was some change that could be helpful, but the autobuild for maverick doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone have more up-to-date informations and suggestions?
thanks, athos

Regarding pd-l2ork, did you install pd-l2ork full install or just the pd-l2ork itself without extended libs? If latter, libs will not work and many will crash due to fundamental changes to how pd works so you would need to install pd-l2ork full (see instructions online for building your own). FWIW, Gem works just fine over here (as do all the libs I tested so far with the exception of Gridflow).
HTH
Best wishes,

If you haven't already, you should check out 0.43 and the GUI
plugins. There are things like fullscreen mode, and more.
