[classpath] == [declare -stdpath] Adds a path to the global search path.
thats great! - I wasn't aware of [classpath] -- now I can stop wrangling preferences/users trying to get different paths and libraries for different versions.
I hope there are plans for inclusion in the miller pd distribution soon (though a least it is fairly easy to explain how to add them, even to a novice user).
hmm, i don't fully understand your request: hans just told you that [classpath] (an external) is basically the
same as [decalre -stdpath] (which comes with pd-vanilla)Actually I now found that [classpath] according to the help-file in CVS/externals/hcs/classpath-help.pd does something different than [declare -stdpath]: It's not used to *set* the path, but to *get* the searchpath with an interface similar to [textfile]: Each bang sent to [classpath] will make it print the next entry in the current Pd path.
So it's actually not intended for making adjustments to the path, that's left to [declare].
Actually, it is intended both to set the global search path (aka
classpath, aka [declare -stdpath]), but it also allows you to query
the global search path. [import] will allow querying.
That's the intention at least. I haven't looked at it in a bit, so
they do not fully live up to those claims yet. I think I was waiting
for somethings from Miller to settle before taking it up again.
About putting the [declare] object first, I haven't figured that part
out yet. Plus the [declare] ordering was limited/buggy last I
checked (a few months ago?)
