did ANY OS X user ever manage to use the flag '-stdpath' for the object [declare] in order to add a directory from extra to pd's searchpathes?
I (of cause) can awnser that question, but say that i can't make work.
This is what i did for testing:
Made a folder in extra called test. In that i made an abstraction
called testing.pd which was just a wrapper around a [print].
Then i made a new test patch which as: [declare -stdpath extra/test] [testing]
Saved that. An loaded it again. But [testing] couldn't create. That
is surpricing since it's what the help file promise.
But the odd things don't end here. I think. Check this out:
$ pwd /Applications/Pd-0.40-2.app/Contents/Resources/extra $ ls -l | cut -c 1-10,47-89 total 192 -rw-r--r-- README.txt drwxr-xr-x bonk~ drwxr-xr-x choice -rw-r--r-- complex-mod~-help.pd -rw-r--r-- complex-mod~.pd -rw-r--r-- expr-help.pd lrwxr-xr-x expr.d_fat -> expr~/expr.d_fat drwxr-xr-x expr~ lrwxr-xr-x expr~.d_fat -> expr~/expr~.d_fat lrwxr-xr-x fexpr~.d_fat -> expr~/fexpr~.d_fat drwxr-xr-x fiddle~ -rw-r--r-- hilbert~-help.pd -rw-r--r-- hilbert~.pd drwxr-xr-x loop~ drwxr-xr-x lrshift~ -rw-r--r-- makefile drwxr-xr-x pique -rw-r--r-- rev1-final.pd -rw-r--r-- rev1-stage.pd -rw-r--r-- rev1~-help.pd -rw-r--r-- rev1~.pd -rw-r--r-- rev2~-help.pd -rw-r--r-- rev2~.pd -rw-r--r-- rev3~-help.pd -rw-r--r-- rev3~.pd drwxr-xr-x sigmund~ drwxr-xr-x test i$
Then consider that my preference .plist is empty. Ie. it doesn't add
the folder fiddle~ to the search path. The odd thing is then, that
the [fiddle~] object creates just fine anyways.
