Re: Opening gui of running -nogui pure data instance

Cheers, yes your patch was returning the right path.
It did work.

Before asking I was looking into the message in pd console : 'pd-gui' connecting to 'pd' on localhost 41969
& I thought there was a way to use this port for opening the gui.

( sorry for off-list mail ! I noticed this too late )

no.
it's "vis /usr/local/lib/pd/".

this is what my patch should have produced.

yes, that's one way.
another is to listen on the serial port for a given event.
or, whatever.

but [netreceive] is a good start :-)
