Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: externals Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jonathan Wilkes (jancsika1) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: pddplink doesn't handle relative paths correctly
Initial Comment: The attached example shows the problem clearly. If you use the link in main.pd it will open ./myPatch.pd, but myPatch.pd will erroneously inherit the path of the canvas that contains the link. Thus helperAbstraction won't create because ./folder is not searched.
You can see this clearly in the window heading of myPatch.pd after you follow the link: it lists the object as "./folder/myPatch.pd" and the path as that of main.pd. But if you make an object [./folder/myPatch.pd] in main.pd and open it, you can see it correctly lists the object as "myPatch.pd" and makes ./folder part of the path. This is what pddplink should do, too.
