Query for Camomile or Pd environment #249
-
|
Is there a straight-forward way to know if a patch is running on Camomile or in the Pure Data prog/interface? I'd like a single patch to work on both, and some functions (openpanel, for instance) work differently. I'm guessing one way would be by checking if any param data is being received. |

There is no way to be sure that the patch is loaded via Camomile. Nevertheless, you can use Camomile standard messages to assume that the patch is loaded as a plugin (the param message, if the plugin has a least one parameter or better, the bus message that is sent when starting the DSP if the plugin has at least one bus). Or another solution would be to check the path of the patch using pdcontrol (for example on macOS, the path should contain /Contents/Resources/). |

Thanks -- that's a good tip about the bus message. I'll go with that, it seems simpler. |
