I cc'ed the Pd-list since I think this is relevent there.

2010/11/29 András Murányi muranyia@gmail.com Hello HC,
i was just trying to pick this up, but i'm kinda confused with the new startup order. It seems at the moment of load_startup_plugins(), which is by the end of pdtk_pd_startup() we don't yet have a functional ::pdwindow::verbose to print on the console. (Also, the '---done with main---' message at the end of main doesn't appear on my console.)
Do you have an idea on this?
the "done with main" thing was just a debug message. So the verbose proc doesn't work in a plugin?
Plus (i couldn't go into it, but) it seems to me that startup plugins are run twice.
It seems this is because both $::sys_searchpath and $::sys_staticpath contains ~/pd-externals (where i keep these plugins). Is it my error that i've added it once to my patch list or is it like this for everyone? And - do you think a mechanism to prevent loading a plugin more than once is necessary?
Andras
Sounds like you have ~/pd-externals added as a path via the preferences. Its now part of the hard-coded sys_staticpath.
