Under osx, this is usually what is done,<br>
there is no apply button.<br>
<br>
Hans's proposition to have separate message is very good as well. It
is much better to change from the patch, for example,
<meta charset="utf-8">
only the number of audio outputs than to overwrite all parameters.<br>
<br>
One thing missing as well is the ability to select audio/midi device
by name from the patch, instead of numbers. This is specially
important for installation when you have different devices connected
and no way to be sure of the order...<br>
<br>
One preference menu seems very nice to me. Audio / midi / startup /
path tabs for examples. In osx, the preferences menu should not be
under the "Edit" menu but under the main app name, just after
"About"<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>
Best,<br>

I think this makes a lot of sense. Making the preferences take effect
immediately is how most platforms are going these days, and is really how Pd
itself responds. So I think Pd's preferences should behave accordingly.
The problem is that it will be tricky to do with the current message format.
I think you should probably just ignore the existing preferences mega-messages
and make one-message-per-preference. That would also make it easier to set
the preferences from a patch.

<pre wrap="">Hi List,
I'm going to start coding up a single preferences dialog to replace the
disparate "settings" dialogs that live in non-standard menus of Pd.
It will be "Firefox Style", meaning a "Preferences" option in the "Edit"
menu. The dialog will have a row of buttons at the top that are icons
above text. When a button is clicked it will bring up the tab in the dialog
window for those particular settings. (This turns out to be surprisingly
easy to do in Tk.)
So far I think there should be an "Audio" button, "MIDI" button, and maybe
a "GUI" button that could be be split out later if needed.
I'd like to have changes take effect immediately-- otherwise it might get
confusing if one changes settings in one tab, then makes changes to another
and clicks "Apply". How would this effect UX on Windows and OSX?
