@Roman: with de debug level i see that the plugin is loaded.

but, because the regular pd-console is small and i was loading Gem at startup

i didn't see the error message in the console about the execution of the plugin:

wrong # args: should be "wm geometry window ?newGeometry?"

as a try i took away the = from the =500x800+0+0 parameter in the plugin.

-> start Pd: no error message and the dimensions were changed, not the positioning.

fiddling with the input for the x and y did not give any positive result.

putting back-in the =

-> startPd: same result as without !

my intermediate conclusions:

1.there was some invisible garbage in the plugin file in W11 (copied from W10).

2.the positioning not working is not yet solved or explainable.

Maybe the problem isn't the switch from Windows 10 to 11, but rather the plugin is not loaded on the other box?

Set Log-Level in the Pd window to "3 debug". You should see a message like:

Loading plugin: /home/roman/Pd/externals/mypdwindow-plugin.tcl

If this is not shown, then make sure that paths are configured correctly in "Preferences" -> "Path".

hi, (Pd 0.52.2 Windows 10/11) i'm using the mypdwindow-plugin.tcl to have fixed position/dimensions of the pd-console. this is the content: if {[winfo exists .pdwindow]} { wm geometry .pdwindow =500x800+0+0 }

in Windows 10 it worked perfectly. now in Windows 11 not at all: i get the standard Pd behaviour.

as far as i know Tcl/Tk is not included in Windows itself. tclsh in a command window is not recognized by Windows, not in W10 or in W11. so, there cannot be a version conflict and the behaviour of tcl commands in connection with Pd should be the same.

of course it's not more then a nuisance, but i would like to understand what's happening.
