i've put Vanilla in a VMware player running XP.
preferences are kept! putting Gem in extra folder, startup lib Gem and it loads, no problem at all.
conclusion?

I've seen this once before and don't know what's causing it... anyone else having trouble getting preferences to stay around in Windows?
thanks Miller

Hello, Rolf,
I've gotten around to toying around with Gem lately and here's what worked for me:
1.) In Edit > Preferences > Path, I've made sure to include not just the folder the Gem folder is in, but the Gem folder itself.
I have all my externals in: ~/pd-externals so that's included but also I've included this path as well: ~/pd-externals/Gem
2.) Under Edit > Preferences > Startup, I've included Gem as a library to load on startup.
Hope this helps!

Gem is in either %appdata%/Pd or pd/extra
very strange: Vanilla does not keep my preferences setting after closing!??
'apply' doesn't have any effect either.

no Gem-meta.pd in the downloaded versions from http://puredata.info/downloads/gem or from deken.
Vanilla 46.7 shows the same problem with Gem
to me it looks like the lib is found, but the creation of the objects fails. for [gemwin] there exists a gemwin.pd in the lib: the object box is drawn like it is ok, but the 'content' cannot be created (list of errors in Pd-console). for [gemkeyboard] there's no gemkeyboard.pd: the object box is drawn partially showing the creation failed.
Gem.dll and Windows 10 not compatible? or is it just my system?

afaik, both /downloads/gem and deken only provide Gem-0.93.3 (not newer) for W32...

...but all the details of your report show that you are using some 0.94git snapshot
OR
that you simply failed to load the Gem binary. did you get the splash-screen telling you that Gem has been loaded?
i suspect this all to do with libdir. try loading Gem before loading libdir.

found out about the preferences not being saved:
when i start pd.exe as administrator the preferences are saved!
apparently this has to do with the prefs being saved in the Windows register.
and W10 setting conditions, different with XP & W8, for programs wanting to change the register.
