[PD] .pdrc in osx

[Ed Kelly]

Greetings,

Right. I'm going a bit off what the community suggests
here. There are two ways to do it, and I am using the
wrong one at the moment(!). The 'proper' way to do it
is to make an installer (.dmg file). I don't yet know
how to do that, but what I did was to put all the
externals I wanted in the
Pd-0.39-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra folder, and
then edit the org.puredata.pd.plist file with -lib
zexy -lib iemlib2 etc etc. Then I put the whole thing
- my patch, the Pd-0.39-1.app folder, the
org.puredata.pd.plist file and a README file
containing instructions on where to put the
org.puredata.pd.plist file - /Library/Preferences in
one folder. I zipped it up and gave it to my boss -
who then found bugs in my patch (whoops again).

However, Frank's idea about a script should work if
you install pd with a .dmg installer. You can make
scripts for loading different libraries with the line
pd -lib /path/to/lib1.pd_darwin -lib
/path/to/lib2.pd_darwin etc.

then,
chmod 755 myscript.sh

Note that my boss is not PD literate, so this had to
be _easy_

alternatively you could edit the Pd.command file in
Applications and use that to launch PD. I did that for
a while...

Best,
Ed
