Hi, I opened an issue on github (see https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/289), but I thought I'd also post this in the list for a broader attention and possibility of discussion.

So, in cyclone we have a hilbert~ object, that I'm trying to load only as [cyclone/hilbert~], so just "[hilbert~]" would still call the abstraction that resides in "extra".

But that never happens as it seems externals have priority in the search path before the extra folder.

So the only way I can load pd vanilla's hilbert~ is if I don't have cyclone in Pd's path or in [declare], which is bad...

this could be fixed if extra had priority in the search, which I think it'd be common sense, as Pd Vanilla objects actually do have priorities over externals in general.

cheers
