in order to work with pd-ext i had to rename some object in chat and netpd-gui i.e. [l2s] to [zexy/list2symbol] or [netclient] to [maxlib/netclient]. is renaming zexy , maxlib objects with namespace the correct/ only way in pd-extended?
hm, i didn't test myself, but since you are using pd-0.40 (extended or not) zexy and maxlib and stuff should be loaded by [declare]. i think currently they are only loaded as externals, which means, for extended we would need to add them as pathes as well (with '-stdpath' instead of '-stdlib'). could you test, if that works? there is no way in renaming all the objets.
most of them could be replaced with list-abs :)
i tested if [list2symbol] could create and reloaded a test patch
withdid not create: import zexy declare -path zexy declare -stdlib zexy declare -stdpath zexy declare -path /Applications/Pd-0.40.3-extended-20071026.app/Contents/Resources/ extra/ zexy declare -stdpath /Applications/Pd-0.40.3-extended-20071026.app/Contents/Resources/ extra/ zexy
did create: import zexy/list2symbol declare -stdlib zexy/list2symbol
on osx 10.3.9 (it's an old cat) with Pd-0.40.3- extended-20071026.app
but again. i want to know the official way to load an external in pd-extended. who can answer this or where is it documented?
the readme says "By default, most of the included libraries are loaded at startup."
if import is the way to go what about all helpfiles, do they
need to get updated in order to work?in case of netpd, it's not worth to think about [import] at all.
netpd won't use it.Any particular objection to [import]? It's an external like any other. If you use list2symbol, etc. because it solves problems, I
the main objection is that it is an external, that has an
equivalent now in plain pd. why use an external then?
If it made your life easier somehow, otherwise no.
and i didn't know that it is simply an external, i thought it would
only work with pd-extended because of some adapted code there. is that
wrong?
Yes, it's just an external, but it doesn't work with versions of Pd
older than 0.40.2.
