Maybe is a silly question but what is the right way to run pd? By executing the pd-extended.bat in the root folder or pd.exe inside the bin folder? What is the difference? The only one that I've noted is the command prompt that stays open after the startup if i run the .bat

Doubt about how to run latest pd-extended version under windows

@Patcher88 Hello, I read a long time ago that pd.exe in the /bin folder is the correct way.
But using the pd-extended.bat file calls all of the pd-extended libraries without you having to register the paths or add them to your "preferences" Using it avoids having to use [import xxxxxx] every time an object is missing.
Having a batch file open is very useful when Pd fails to respond (a boundless iteration, or incorrect media settings) as you can close the batch file, and that will kill pd without having to go to your task manager.
But you will find that making your own batch files to call pd.exe (or pd.com) is the best way of working, as you can build into the batch file all of the command line switches that you require for the efficient running of your patch.......
