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<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I've been using several different versions of pd in OS X: Pd-extended (packaged), Pd-vanilla (packaged), and pd-gui-rewrite (compiled). Every time I use vanilla or gui-rewrite, I need to set and save the audio settings, which writes a plist settings file to ~/Library/Preferences/. Then, when I start Pd-extended, it doesn't want to read the plist file included with it, but reads this other 'local' one.<br>
<br>
It would be great if there was some way to tell pd which plist file to load. I see there is an option '-noprefs', how about an open '-prefs FILE'? I know you could do this with a bash script or something similar, but that just seems messy for OS X. I was working on this in python/ubuntu, but it was always cumbersome at best.<br>
