I mentioned them a week or two ago in another thread; documents in OS
X usually have a little icon in the titlebar that represents the file
being edited; you can drag it to get a reference to the file (for
copying or opening in another application; for Pd files that's awesome
for dragging to your text editor for editing), or you can right click
it to get a context menu with the parent folders up to the root (great
as a "reveal in finder" function).
I attached a patch that should theoretically add support for them as
well as properly showing the "modified" state consistently with the
rest of OS X apps (which dims the proxy icon and adds a dot in the
close button). But I haven't been able to get it to work with Pd
Vanilla.
I added this to pdtk_canvas_new in my Pd-extended pdtk with static
arguments and the feature does work, so maybe you can try the patch
(my build environment still isn't working):
wm attributes $name -modified 0 -titlepath
{/Users/LukeIannini/PureData/sft/sft.structhausen.pd}
(replace the path with an actual file on your machine of course)
Cheers
Luke
