hi there:
just a quick one.
how can i set my Pd to remember the search paths that i specified? at the moment, when i start my Pd, the paths that i entered previously are lost and i have to retype them each time.
many thanks
yours

- use ~/.pdrc (no idea if this works on windos)
- use a batch file / shell script to start pd with -path /bla/bla:/over/there:/and/in/this/other/place

hi there:
thanks for your reply:)
- use ~/.pdrc (no idea if this works on windos)
my Pd is on Fedora Linux and i am pretty new to it. i don't quite understand this. i can't seems to locate this file/binary/script.

umm, am not quite sure i understand this either, sorry...
thanks again

it's not there by defaultm it's a file in /home/username_who_runs_pd/ (where cd at the shell prompt takes you) it's a textfile you have to put there and basically you can put pd command line options in there you want to have run everytime
mine looks like this:
x@combat:~$ cat .pdrc -path /home/x/audio/sw/pd/patches/mine/abs:/home/x/audio/sw/pd/lib:/home/x/audio/sw/pd/externs/other/iemlib_R1.12/abs -verbose -lib hammer -lib sickle -lib iemlib1 -lib iemlib2 -lib iem_t3_lib -lib zexy

ok, i understand this bit now.
not quite understand the syntax of the script below:( i got a fedora book and in it there is a format of
[sonicvariable@localhost sonicvariable]$ cat .pdrc . . . [sonicvariable@localhost sonicvariable]
would this also work?
i have tried making a script this way but keeps the rest of the script the same as you have below apart from the actual file paths. but i got 'permission denied '?
mine looks like this:
x@combat:~$ cat .pdrc -path /home/x/audio/sw/pd/patches/mine/abs:/home/x/audio/sw/pd/lib:/home/x/audio/sw/pd/externs/other/iemlib_R1.12/abs -verbose -lib hammer -lib sickle -lib iemlib1 -lib iemlib2 -lib iem_t3_lib -lib zexy

The tilde "~" is just a shortcut for your HOME directory, wherever that is. It normally is /home/your_username but that doesn't have to be so. That's why people just call it "~". You can use that shortcut on the command line and in many applications, for example in Pd's "Open file" dialog. Just type "~" into the "File name" fiels, press ENTER and you're home.

Now I don't understand this. "cat" just prints the contents of a file to your shell. "cat" can be abused as text editor, but normally you'd use a real text editor for it.

You don't need a script. Just do a "editor ~/-pdrc" with "editor" some text editor (many distributions, e.g. Debian provide an editor as "editor" program.

Add them to ~/.pdrc like:
-path /usr/lib/pd/extra:/home/pd/ -lib zexy:cyclone
You can put all command line options into ~/.pdrc
