I think this is a good idea, but don't know in detail how to do it. Patches should be able to have a say as to what they "prefer" (beyond what's available via the declare object) but they can't just smash over everything - for instance, they might not know what audio device they should use.
O've started putting local config files in some of my patches for which I have versions for 3 different audio setups the patch has to run in - I just use loadbang and textfile :) Miller On Thu, Apr 09, 2009 at 12:56:09PM +0200, IOhannes m zmoelnig wrote: > hi all. > > i was wondering what the status of "embedded preferences" (that is: > using a local preference file that is attached with a certain > Pd-application rather than the global preferences valid for all Pd's on > the system) for all platforms and the various tastes of Pd was. > > i know that you can embed a preference file in an osx-bundle in > Pd-extended (at least since 0.40), and iirc this embedding has been > accepted into Pd-vanilla as well (since version ?) > > i seem to remember that a similar mechanism exists on linux. > > i cannot remember anything about w32 (which might be more complicated, > given that with w32 we are using the registry rather than a file that > ships with Pd) > > so my question is: > - is embedding preferences supported on all platforms? > - is embedding preferences supported on both Pd-vanilla and Pd-extended? > - what is the minimum version of Pd i need to acquire the usufruct (with > regard to taste) > > > fgamdsr > IOhannes > _______________________________________________ > Pd-list@iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
