Hi,
I am having some troubles getting -nogui option work on osx. right now there are several problems with that: if I add -nogui to the startup prefs, the icon in the task bar keeps jumping, but pd does not start up. I have to start pd from terminal to get it running. otoh, I would prefer a solution without terminal window. especially since when closing pd the terminal always stays open. any help on that would be welcome!
marius.
Command line options on Mac OS X are problematic since Pd has a
strange startup procedure: first, pd.tk starts, which starts "pd"
which then starts the pd.tk pd-gui process, IIRC.

there is a simple little .app called Launcher
http://www.maths.mq.edu.au/~steffen/tcltk/Launcher/
save a script as an executable text file, set it to open with
Launcher, then you can double-click it, or put it in the dock, or
make it a startup item - whatever you require
Launcher it will just execute the script without opening a terminal
window
use a script like this:
/Applications/Pd.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -nogui /Library/Pd/ slave.pd; exit
in my case slave.pd opens a fullscreen Gem window and accepts remote
commands.

This is basically what the new "make app" feature on Mac OS X does,
except it makes a complete copy of Pd-extended as well. You can
strip it down after if you want.
