[PD] Two Pd instances with different startup options

[Nicolas Montgermont]

Hello,

There is some other possibilities on osx,
To use two different preferences files, make sure you have no preference 
file saved locally (in ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pdextended.plist)
In this case Pd-extended search for its default preference file inside 
itself in:
/Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/org.puredata.pdextended.default.plist
So if you duplicate the application Pd-extended.app for example in 
Pd-extended-audio.app, you'll have two different preference files.

Otherwise, you can save in a patch informations regarding the audio/midi 
configuration, see for example
[get-audio-dialog]
from pdx, then you can launch two instance of pd (with command line) 
with two different patches and settings.
best,
n
