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. Mike

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
