hi, to hide the DOS console on MSWindows, add -mwindows to the pd.exe linker flags in the (GNU) makefile. the current caveat to using mingw is the ASIO support is broken, at least until upgrading to either portaudio19, or adding the IASIOThiscallResolver.h ( http://www.audiomulch.com/~rossb/code/calliasio/ ) to portaudio sources..

-r impd_0_37 has a feature which implements drag and drop by allowing a patch to be dropped on the parent window containing the peak meters, menu, etc...opening it in the current instance. usually the program is proably launched froma  start menu shortcut or .bat or something, so the program icon is praobly not around to be dropped upon (sounds awfully system 7...) 

it seems the command "console hide" will hide the wish console...
