[PD-dev] double precision pd?

[Dan Wilcox]

It will work and I don't think separate apps would be needed.

The executable within the .app bundle (Contents/MacOS/Pd) is just the renamed Wish executable which calls the Tk GUI which, in turn, starts the pd core which could be either 32 or 64 bit float precision. This could be selectable via a GUI preference which would take effect on app restart. A bigger issue might be if the core is also sending 64 bit doubles to the GUI but the GUI is not set up for that, although I don't believe that is the case as, at that point, things are sent as stings, ie. the contents of a wide float atom.
