You can also try a regular .zip. PdParty should be associated with .pd, .zip, & .pdz files. I can look into it but it would take at least a couple of days for a new version to come out if I need to fixed any bugs, so that may not help you if you need it working today/tomorrow.

I tried with a zip but it does not work. It just opens each of the files in the zip. It would be great to have it working before the weekend. we have a performance, but we can borrow an android phone. so there is no hurry, but it would be great to find out how to do this.
thanks

Does "it just opens each of the files in the zip" mean the OS unzips the zip file and then calls PdParty for each patch or does it mean that PdParty gets the zip and unzips it into the application directory but without a containing folder?

We'll see. In the meantime, I'm assuming you've read the section in the PdParty user guide about how copy patches onto a device? There is a built-in WebDAV server that facilitates this: http://danomatika.com/code/pdparty/guide#detailed-instructions http://danomatika.com/code/pdparty/guide#detailed-instructions If you're just deploying to a set number of devices once, this would work fine and is what I use mainly.
but it would be great to find out how to do this.
There is no "find how to do this." It either works or doesn't. If it doesn't, then I don't have the app configured correctly to tell the OS what files are associated with it. This did work a while ago, but perhaps something has changed in newer versions of iOS.

Copying a .pdz file from Mail to PdParty and uncompressing is working for me. A similar .zip file does not show the "Copy to PdParty" option in the Share menu, however.
Steps I followed on my laptop running macOS 10.14:
Step on my iPhone 5S running iOS 10.12:
Note: The built-in Archive on macOS creates a _MACOSX folder which is also uncompressed by PdParty. This is harmless and can be safely deleted. It won't be created if you make the zip using another OS or the zip command line tool.
The .pdz file is just a renamed .zip which makes the associating to PdParty, etc a lot easier. This should work on any scene type or even just a simple folder. I imagine your use case is to zip up a folder of patches and some rescue files, so this should work fine.

Hi Dan,

I have just noticed that the documentation on the droidparty.net site says the file extension should be .dpz not .pdz and perhaps this is the source of the issue. I have added a ticket to fix this in PdDroidParty:

Not sure if I will get to it before the weekend, Enrike. Will see.
Cheers,

(sorry I dont use iPhone and I have to "steal" my partner's one to run the tests) The mail program seems to unzip the zip and displays all the files in the fip in a horizontal scroll list. I dont get to see PdParty at all. It looks to me like PdParty does not get involved at all.
yeah I tried that as well. I could not connect to the phone, it did not allow me. bear in mind that I am all the time jumping onto the iphone when I see it around and "free" :) so it is quite difficult to be methodic about running tests
ok I am going to check too which version of iOS is running. I should have done it the first time it failed.
thanks
