Re: [PD] multiple pd versions and settings on OS X
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 .hc On Nov 16, 2009, at 5:35 PM, Rich E wrote: Hi, I've been using several different versions of pd in OS X: Pd- extended (packaged), Pd-vanilla (packaged), and pd-gui-rewrite (compiled).

I was working on this in python/ubuntu, but it was always cumbersome at best. there is a patch in the patchtracker for this, which was rejected because it was done at the time, when Pd switched to OS-dependent preferences. probably somebody could revive it.
