I'm trying to get recentfiles written to ~/.pdsettings and I think I'm missing something obvious. (see my patch attached or here: http://pastebin.com/3apUXLzs ).

so far I can read from .pdsettings and get the recentfiles in the File menu (when I wrote them in theremanually) but, in s_files.c/glob_savepreferences():

char *pathelem = namelist_get(recentfiles_list, i)

does not make it. I think that I don't really understand the way pd and the gui communicate with each other.

I think I found my error. should I add a method in m_glob.c that appends a filename to recentfiles_list. then when opening a window in Tcl, send the new filename to pd (please correct me if I'm wrong) ? I'll try after sleeping a bit :)

Hey Yvan,

It's great that you are taking this on, its definitely useful. I think that it might make more sense to create a separate GUI-only preference system. Its something that I had planned on trying, but hadn't found the time, so it'd be great if you beat me to it!

This way it would be a lot easier to deal with, you can do everything from Tcl.
