Alright, I downloaded the 'pdrp' stuff, and opened up a patch that has [declare] in it, and it appears to be working, as the full patch loads, and nothing is broken...
Guess I just need to figure this out why I can't seem to make it work with my stuff...
Thanks,
Mike

Hans (or anyone),
Is there some patch that is in some release that shows how declare actually works? I can't seem to give it any path that will then be searched for stuff.
I know that Miller has said that he uses this all the time, and it works for him. I just can't quite figure out what I am doing wrong, if anything at all...

I added querying to [import] and it now uses the same mechanism as [declare].
[declare -stdpath zexy] only works on Mac OS X, you need to do it like this on Windows and GNU/Linux:
[declare -stdpath ../extra/zexy]
I am proposing to change this behavior, I think it should start in /path/to/pd/extra.

Oh, I was also wondering if there could be some sort of 'feedback' from [declare] that tells us what the path is? Maybe there could be an inlet on [declare] that when it receives a bang, it outlets what paths are currently loaded for searching.

Hello all,
I have been following the development of [declare], but sadly every time I
have tried to use it, it doesn't appear to work as the help file says it should.
I have tried it several different ways:
- [declare -stdpath extra/zexy]
- [prime] <-- from zexy
the [prime] object doesn't get created...
version 2:
- [declare -stdpath zexy]
- [prime]
still no joy...
I also tried the same thing, only using -stdlib, but that doesn't seem to
load anything either.
Next I tried to do something relative to a project folder in my home
directory. Inside there, I created a subfolder named 'more' (as in the help file), and in that I have a file 'abstract.pd'. I made a patch in the root of the project, and used this
- [declare -path more]
- [abstract]
the [abstract] object doesn't get created.
I am running Mac OS 10.4.11, running on PPC hardware. I used the latest
version of PD Extended (the 0.40.3-extended-20080603). I also tried these same things with Vanilla PD 41.4, and got the same results.
Is there some test patch out there that I could use to test these things?
Thanks,
Mike

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson
