Hi all,
it seems that the ways of dealing with externals and paths is
always in flux! I would like to confirm a suspicion that, for the time being,
the following works the way I think it does, assuming PD 0.39:[library/object] imports that specific object into global
namespace, and can accommodate different objects with the same name from different libs. This method does not allow access to help patches or
abstractions in the library path.
You can load abstractions this way too: [library/myabs]. Help
patches should work, there is a bug in 0.39 that I aim to fix in 0.40.
[import library] imports the whole library into global namespace, including help patches and other abs (usually, although I have often found this broken in Extended). It cannot accommodate different
objects with the same name from different libs, as the last library imported will have priority.Is this correct so far? Has anyone documented this any more substantially anywhere? How does this change for 0.40?
It is hopefully properly implemented with canvas-local and global
namespaces. I am aiming to have this all fixed up for the 0.40.3-
extended release at the end of the month, then this will be all
clearer in my head. When's your deadline?
