hi,
i know that several people refuse .pdrc exactly because of ben's
reason. wouldn't it be good to have the opportunity to load an
arbitrary configuration file instead of .pdrc (via a parameter like -c
<file>)
i just realise that it is anyway not very gnu how pd handles
parameters. more usual/standard would be -p and --path, -o and --open.
but that's not really this important...
hans : is the pd0.38 app to be placed in /applications or does it
really work from everywhere now? i remember that it once was necessary
for an osx build, but that was not yours, was it? as i told this to a
number of people now i would definitely like to know :-)
