Hi Frank!

//standalone: your bat file solves the issue on pc... now I just need to figure it out for mac... does anyone know how to
force pd to open a file automatically?

//plugin

http://www.iua.upf.edu/~malonso/pdplugin/

I had seen that one before, but it doesn't seem to work... on windows
it installs de plugin, but when I try the test examples they don't work. anyone on the pdlist has used them? is the plugin still being developed? From the info you sent me it seems that pdplugin is just a
javascript plugin to connect to pd server, rather than having pd
running on the client-side.

thanks for all the help :)

Im just trying to figure out a way to run puredata on a browser as a internet plugin.

Why didn't you say so? ;)

There are some projects regarding Pd as a browser plugin. This is what Google turned up:

http://www.elec.qmul.ac.uk/dafx03/proceedings/pdfs/dafx66.pdf

Beware: These are not really useful for distributing general purpose patches. For that, you need to use a real Pd executable, either use an installed one or include a stripped down one with your patches for Linux, OS-X and/or Windows, like Max/MSP basically does.

Which gives me an idea: Maybe we should make a minimal Pd distribution, pd-compressed as the opposite of pd-extended, for the major operating systems? Just a the bin-directory of a static build of Pd, nothing else. Add a .bat or .sh file that starts this Pd and loads MAIN.pd in the top dir:

bin: pd(.exe) pd-gui(.exe) pd.tk lib: ... MAIN.pd RUN.[sh|bat]

Maybe also include expr.

Though, as Windows lacks so many libraries, some more stuff would need to be included. I made such a standalone for Windows and Linux(not static) and put it to http://footils.org/pkg/pd-app.zip, if you want to try. It's down to 1.9MB, and was tested on Linux with Wine. Just run "RUN.bat" on Linux or "RUN.sh" on Linux.

Ciao
