Hi list,
i have an Urgent problem i realy hope someone could help me quickly.
This is the last day for me to prepare a performance for a live show
and Pd doesn't open anymore. :(
The story>
i installed pdmtl library (from zip file on MAC) following the video
tutorial. I modified Pd preferences (path and startup), close Pd and
when i tried to relaunch it, it open a blank consolle and then crash
immediately without loading any library (or at least i don-t see in
the consolle anything loading).
so it doesn-t allow me to modify anymore the preferences.
i disinstalled Pd and reinstalled twice but it keeps on with the same
behaviour described above (as far as i know the keys are still stored
in the system).
This suggests that the problem lies in the plist file in
~/Library/Preferences/, as when you re-install Pd, you should be
re-installing the default preferences as well (i.e., the plist that
lives within the application package contents). Are you re-installing
a completely fresh copy?
how can i modify the org.puredata.pd.plist file from terminal? i used
the command defaults read org.puredata.pd and i see the error in in
the flags startup - but i cannot sort out how to modify it from
terminal... (sorry for the ignorance but im not used to manage terminal)
i also look for org.puredata.pd.plist in |~/Library/Preferences/ |but
the file doens't look to be there.
That's very odd. There should be "org.puredata.pd.plist" (as well as
"org.puredata.pd.wish.pdlist", but ignore that) in
~/Library/Preferences/. It would seem to be the only explanation for
the persistence of the problem. By the way, if and when you find
org.puredata.pd.plist, just double-click it, and a property editing
program will run. Alternatively, just delete it org.puredata.pd.plist
from ~/Library/Preferences/ -- that will get you back to default
behavior. See here for more info: http://puredata.info/docs/faq/pdsettings
or how i disinstall Pd in order to reset all preferences?
or any other suggestion is really appreciated, i still have a hell of
work to do on the performance patch..... :((((
I hope this helps...I'll be around for the next ten hours or so, so
write back if you're still stuck. Good luck.
Phil
