there a way to send startup flags to pd other than clicking the startup menu and writing them there on Mac and Windows? ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.

Yes, you can for example use the good ol' command line to start Pd and enter the flags there directly. You also can write a *.bat (Win) or *.sh (Mac, Linux, ...) startup file including the command line arguments you like best.

On OSX, you can edit the /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist file, using the built in "Property List Editor.app" (Control-click for that option under "Open With"). I use this much more reliably than the Startup Menu. Make sure to do it while PD isn't running, or your changes get overwritten when PD closes.
best, d.

This requires XCode (aka developer tools, included on your OSX install discs) I find a combination of .pdrc and the plist to be best, as that way I don't have to merge my particular customizations into every new build of PD-extended I download (which I do... rather compulsively : )).
To use .pdrc you'll need a plaintext editor (textedit will do, though I'm not sure if it will let you save something as a "dot file" – I use textmate). Enter your startup flags in the file, one per line.
Mm, so many choices.
Hey Luke
Where does pd look for .pdrc in OSX? Does it check somewhere inside the package itself? That would be really useful for running different builds with different parameters. Or maybe it's just silly. It's early.

Hi dafydd, It looks in your home directory, e.g. /Users/dayfdd/.pdrc aka ~/.pdrc So not terribly useful for that. Bash scripts would work, though.
