Ok, I manually added a library in preferences/startup (which worked after restarting pd) and searched for it in the registry, thus figuring out that the startup settings are being saved to and loaded from:

HKEY_USERS\(some_long_id)\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE \SOFTWARE\PD

Yes, on Windows, they'll share preferences. I suppose that shouldn't be, like Pd-extended should use "Pd-extended" as the registry path. File a bug report/feature request if you want it to be, and I'll take a look when I have time.

So:

1) Is it an error in the .reg file that stores the settings in a location different from that actually used by pd, or is it Vista that uses a different location than XP? or is it some setting in Windows that the user can change (obviously for all programs but I wouldn't mind)?

So perhaps there is an error, btu I don't have access to a Vista machine. I think other people are using Pd-extneded on Vista, maybe they can help. If you think there is a problem/bug, then please file a bug report.

2) My other question remains that is: how can I have a PD extended and a PD Vanilla on the same computer?

Well I guess one solution would be to create a .BAT file to load pd with the -lib option and the whole list of libraries (which I can get from the .reg file). Will that be all (provided that I use the binary from pd extended with its whole folder), or would I miss something that way (some path setting or whatever)?


Yeah, at .bat for Pd-vanilla or add -noprefs to the shortcut for launching Pd-vanilla.
