hi list

i'm testing netpd on pd-0.40.3-extended-20080114.app on ppc osx 10.4.11, 
although some synths are missing an object i think it's quite usable atm.

the first problem i ran into was
touch ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist
emptied the plist but didn't remove it. so it didn't load zexy and 
maxlib, which is necessary for netpd to start and load the _chat.pd.
removing the ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist manually did 
solve the issue. i guess when there is no org.puredata.pd.plist it takes 
the one inside the app. couldn't it be default anyway that it takes 
plist inside the app? and when i think further couldn't it be the same 
file/syntax on all OS?


then.. most netpd-patches worked in my testing session. a few synths 
couldn't load some externals like iem_t3_lib or <~ from zexy.


unfortunately quite a few patches have this error
  <~

bon-drummer.pd
bon-minidrm.pd
bon-blip.pd

fat-ass.pd - although i have never ever heard the sound of this synth, 
afaik it was a license issue linux-olny.

while testing on pd-extended i wanted to ask if there are any objection 
  to put netpd (one day, maybe this year) into pd-extended. roman what 
do you think?

and if yes... how about people could add their netpd-patches to 
pd-extended/netpd/patches?
