I mentioned them a week or two ago in another thread; documents in OS X usually have a little icon in the titlebar that represents the file being edited; you can drag it to get a reference to the file (for copying or opening in another application; for Pd files that's awesome for dragging to your text editor for editing), or you can right click it to get a context menu with the parent folders up to the root (great as a "reveal in finder" function).
I attached a patch that should theoretically add support for them as well as properly showing the "modified" state consistently with the rest of OS X apps (which dims the proxy icon and adds a dot in the close button). But I haven't been able to get it to work with Pd Vanilla. I added this to pdtk_canvas_new in my Pd-extended pdtk with static arguments and the feature does work, so maybe you can try the patch (my build environment still isn't working): wm attributes $name -modified 0 -titlepath {/Users/LukeIannini/PureData/sft/sft.structhausen.pd} (replace the path with an actual file on your machine of course) Cheers Luke On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 8:57 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Oops, sorry, I didn't realize that you were working on it.
