That's an interesting question!
Pd~ starts up a new pd, whose current directory is the same as the parent, but whose search path is whatever Pd's default is. As far as I know there's no way for the "child" pd to inherit the search path of the original one. There should be a way to do this - I just never thought about it, and it migth not be terribly easy to code up :)

Hi all,
I'm confused about how pd~ locates files loaded into its process using |pd~ start <filename>(
Where does pd~ look for files?
Does it make use of the search paths for the parent Pd instance?
Can I use relative paths?
I'd like to do something like:
|pd~ start mydir/mypatch.pd(
But where should I put mydir?
Thanks!
Jamie
