Re: [PD] Preferences weirdness in Pd 43.1 ( 2?) in RPi
Hi Julian, [import] is installed, but doesn't work with some libraries. Adding the name of the library explicitely in front of the object name doesn't solve the issue either. Thanks for the tip about the root user's preferences. I solved my problem by launching pd as a regular user from rc.local (using su user-c 'pd...'). Cheers, Pierre. 2013/7/9 Julian Brooks jbee...@gmail.com Hey Pierre, [import] isn't a vanilla object so may not be installed on the pi? I think it's in the repo's though. When you start as root it has it's own version of.pdsettings so the preferences will be different. To have matching settings between root and regular user just copy one of the .pdsettings to the other's home folder. Obviously not an ideal solution (ie dirty hack) but as long as your libs are in the search path [zexy/limiter~], for example, should always work.

I have to add their folders to the Path list. Note that the [import] object doesn't work either for these libraries. - when launching Pd as root, the preferences I set as a normal use don't load. This is a bit strange to me, and I have no idea how to tell Pd to use the same .pdsettings file in both situations. Nothing that I couldn't get around, but the this is a bit frustating (especially the libraries thing).
