hi, (maybe this is of general interest for pd users?) speaking of lists, I once did a similar thing some years ago, collecting 2682 objects. the list is far away from being complete or up to date... http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/files/GENERAL_ALL.csv_.txt marius.

hmm, that matches with what I was proposing (still on a private level) for the new categories of documentating pd-ext objects. although some people might not like not having their objects in their personal folder, it would really make information more easily to come by - fyi, I think in the latest object list I've made, there are ~1200 externals (objects + abstractions).
I would go to the extra step and and follow yves' suggestions try to ask some developpers to change the names of some objects to avoid name clashes - if that's possible anyway, after all these years of programming.
I can't contribute with code because I can't code, but I can write mails and give (sometimes good) ideas. To remind how big the task is, I attach here the list of pd-ext objects I've done some months ago (as a first step to try to get an updated documentation for pd-ext).
