...back to working on the app_pkg stuff, and I have a question: how are we supposed to access the internally-kept abstractions? Currently, pd++.app/Contents/Resources/extra & pd++.app/Contents/ Resources/doc/5.reference seem to be the only places that are in pd's path by default, yet there is also the pd++.app/Contents/Resources/ doc/abstractions folder that includes footils/list-abs, among other things: what is the strategy to access this?
Actually this may be a good time to generally discuss how to deal with abstractions. In my opinion there should be a common place for abstractions like "extra" is for externals. No messing with the Pd-path should be necessary to see these abstractions.
Of course we could simply use "extra" as well. Personally I prefer to keep abstractions and externals apart. But I would really like to see an "install target" for abstractions as well. I would vote for "PD_ROOT/abs/", and maybe also a special help path "PD_ROOT/doc/6.abs.reference/" to put the help files for these abstractions. (All [list]-abs files contain proper help patches.)
Ciao
