If you the attached puredata.xml file into /usr/share/mime/packages/
and
then run 'sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime/packages' programs
like rox-filer and nautilus will recognize the application/x-puredata
mimetype, allowing the association of the files for point and click
opening.
That would be a great thing to include. There is a lot of that kind
of stuff included in the Pd-extended package that is distributed
outside of Debian/Ubuntu. Please take a look at them and see if you
can see anything to improve. You can see those files here:
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/packages/linux_make/
I joined the list in order to forward this info, so please pardon me
if
this has already come up before. Is this something that would be
good to
include as an optional installable part of pd for those who use this
mime update method?
Yeah, we need to iron out a grand plan before taking on the 'puredata'
package again. There has been discussion, next we need motion. :)
Also, I have embedded the expat xml parsing library into a pd external
in order to import objects from svg documents edited in inkscape
into pd
structs, what would be the best way to share this with others once I
get
my code cleaned up enough for distribution? (
This sounds super useful if it will do general XML parsing. Your idea
sounds quite cool too. To start with, I think you should package it
as a libdir library and distribute it on puredata.info or wherever you
want.

so far, between the
external and a pd patch I can import three sided shapes accurately,
accounting for scale / translate / shear / rotation data).
