Thank you for the informations. I will soon install an SSD on my laptop as well.

At the time of development, the object [pd~], used to manage the two instances and their communication, presented a serious problem in Windows, because it was not possible to run a patch located in a path with spaces in the name, and this is standard in Windows (ex: C:/Program Files/). If I am not mistaken, in version 0.48.1 of Pd this issue of [pd~] has been solved, but I have not tested it yet. makes sense, since when i'm on windows i always put PD as a standalone version (the .zip package, without installer) on a seperate partition and thus don't know about "space in names" issues ;-) As soon as I have time, I'll run new tests on Windows. I'm excited about your account of having managed to run the full version on Windows. By the way, what version of Windows and Pd are you using? Win 7 / 64bit PD 0.48.0 Gem 0.93.3 i also have a SSD in my laptop and i'm coming to believe that this is a crucial aspect considering Gem's and PD's performance. so far i didn't have to use [pd~) to smoothly run audio AND video in the same instance of PD on my laptop (sometimes two HD movies and 3 soundfiles read from disk simultaneously !). i did however encounter those problems on computers using conventional harddisks. just my personal observation ... so, running audio and video in seperate threads is definitely the safer way to go best oliver _______________________________________________ [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list -- Bruno Faria Rohde
