[PD-dev] External Manager - Load my Externals

[bbogart at ryerson.ca]

Hey all,

I think the PD cvs is the place for the project, but since its not an external where should it go? (should we have a new module for it?)

The implimentation will be tcl/tk anyhow, and fully cross-platform. There will be at least one dependancy of the shortcut.dll lib for tcl/tk under windows.

I think a home on the PD menu would be a great place for this project, IF PD could load externals and change flags on the fly. (without restarting) without this having it the menu would make little sense, if It is to be integrated into PD without the ability to do this then it would be a kind of splash page, starting up before PD, but then how to deal with loading and saving multiple configuration sets? I think the most elegant solution would be to run it seperate from PD. Mind you I think it would be amazing if PD would load/remove libs and change audio settings on the fly, is this even possible?

Ben
