<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">> just downloaded last night's autobuild--looks very nice! i understand the<br>> wish for flexible colours etc, but hc, thanks a lot for the work!
<br>> there is something however that i don't understand: why is it that pd-ext<br>> doesn't load all the libs it comes with? the .plist it comes with contains<br>> 10 entries for loadlib, while in my tweaked prefs file for an earlier
<br>> version, there are 36.</blockquote><div><br> </div><div>Hi Robert, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "the .plist it comes with"; the .plist is inside the Pd-Extended.app
file now so it shouldn't have come with anything that looks like a separate file. If you still have a ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist you should delete it (after making note of any customizations). Then Pd will use its embedded file instead (which I just checked - it contains 39 loadlib lines in my

</div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hm, not knowing my way around OS-X-Pd, but: This sound bad. Isn't it<br>possible on OS-X to tweak a preference file once and for all and use
<br>it with each new Pd version like the ~/.pdrc and ~/.pdsettings files<br>are kept on Linux? Or asked in a different way: how do you make a new<br>pd-extended use a personal plist?</blockquote><div><br>
</div><div><br> </div><div>The .pdrc works great on OS X, exactly as one would hope now with the embedded prefs: the embedded prefs take care of configuring Pd-Extended and my .pdrc takes care of adding the things I'm interested in.
</div><div><br> </div><div>Robert, here's an example of .pdrc (just a file called ".pdrc" that lives in your username directory)</div><div><div>-path /Users/LukeIannini/PureData/sft:/Users/LukeIannini/PureData/sft/Components:/Users/LukeIannini/PureData/sft/Components/Utilities/Users/LukeIannini/PureData/Extra/Synths/polywavesynth
</div><div>-lib iemmatrix:iemlib:xsample:zexy</div><div>-audiobuf 12</div><div>-jack</div></div><br> </div>You can make the file in TextEdit if you're sure to choose "Make Plain Text" first, and on 10.5 it lets me save it as ".pdrc" with a warning (since the file will appear as hidden in the Finder), but I can't remember if that works in Tiger. If not, save it as just "pdrc", then open terminal and type "mv pdrc .pdrc".
