On Mac OS X, you can stick a prefs plist into the Pd-extended.app and then it'll always ignore all other prefs. Instead the Pd- extended.app, just copy /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/ org.puredata.pd.default.plist to /Applications/Pd-extended.app/ Contents/org.puredata.pd.plist

Hi,

I've been using several different versions of pd in OS X: Pd- extended (packaged), Pd-vanilla (packaged), and pd-gui-rewrite (compiled). Every time I use vanilla or gui-rewrite, I need to set and save the audio settings, which writes a plist settings file to ~/ Library/Preferences/. Then, when I start Pd-extended, it doesn't want to read the plist file included with it, but reads this other 'local' one.

It would be great if there was some way to tell pd which plist file to load. I see there is an option '-noprefs', how about an open '- prefs FILE'? I know you could do this with a bash script or something similar, but that just seems messy for OS X. I was working on this in python/ubuntu, but it was always cumbersome at best.
