hi list
some days ago i downloaded and installed Pd version 0.41.4-extended-20080326 from nightly builds (linux). here is a list of externals with the same names in different libraries (pd_linux files)
abs~ 4 times - /zexy, /cyclone, /creb, /markex aenv~ 2 times - /bsaylor, /flatspace alternate 2 times - /markex, /flatspace any2string 2 times - /moocow, /flatspace atan2~ 2 times - /cyclone, /ggee average 2 times - /maxlib, /markex avg~ 2 time - /zexy, /cyclone bfilt2 2 times - /cxc, /flatspace bfilt 2 times - /cxc, /flatspace counter 3 times - /cxc, /cyclone, /markex cxavgdev 2 time - /cxc, /flatspace delta~ 3 times - /cxc, /flatspace, /cyclone fexpr~ and expr~ and expr 2 times - /extra (root), /expr~ (they seem to be same) FIR~ 2 times - /iemlib, /flatspace folder_list 2 times - /hcs, /flatspace (same?) gate 2 times - /iemlib, /cyclone ifeel 2 times - /hcs, /flatspace (same?) image 2 times - /moonlib, /ggee import 2 times - /hcs, /extra(root) - (same?) init 2 times - /iemlib, /flatspace (same?) invert 2 times - /markex, /flatspace LFO_noise~ 2 times - /iemlib, /flatspace - (same?) linuxmouse 2 times - /depricated, /flatspace (same?) matrix_mul_line 2 times - /iemmatrix, /iem_matrix matrix~ 3 times - /iemmatrix, /creb, /cyclone mean~ 2 times - /cxc, /flatspace (same?) messages 2 times - /ext13, /ggee multiselect 2 times - /markex, /flatspace prepend 2 times - /cyclone, /flatspace prob 2 times - /cyclone, /mjlib range 2 times - /depricated, /flatspace (same?) reson~ 4 times - /cxc, /markex, /flatspace (same?) + /cyclone sinh 2 times - /cyclone, /ggee speedlim 3 times - /iemlib, /maxlib, /cyclone split_path 2 times - /hcs, /flatspace split 4 times - /iemlib, /cxc, /cyclone, /maxlib sprinkler 2 times - /moocow, /flatspace string2any 2 times - /moocow, /flatspace susloop~ 2 times - /bsaylor, /flatspace~(same?) svf~ 3 times - /bsaylor, /flatspace (same?) + /cyclone tripleLine and tripleRand 2 times - /markex, /flatspace (same?) urn 3 times - /zexy, /cyclone, /maxlib utime 2 times - /hcs, /flatspace vbap 2 times - /vbap, /ggee warp 3 times - /zexy, /iemlib, /maxlib zhzxh~ 2 times - /bsaylor, /flatspace
uuuuuhhhhhh... i think that was it, hope i did not miss any. a lot of them look to be same (same file size at least) but some of them are different. is this a feature or it should be like this? how do i know witch one PD is loading/using? does this mean that PD can load a wrong help file for a 2 different externals? maybe it would be time to fix this, or just make new names (i know that this can break some patches, but if PD load a "wrong" external it will also break a patch, or?) any suggestions/ideas how to deal with this?
thanx and keep a good work nikola
