I did save the patch, and then reopen it. At the same time, though, I didn't think about disabling the .pdrc file. I don't really think that that would have this effect, as I am add more paths to search, on top of those added by .pdrc.

Hello,
I can't remember for sure but I think [declare] might only work when the patch is loaded. Try the same things you did earlier, but save the patch and reopen it before you add the desired object/abstraction.
Someone please correct me if this is wrong.
Thanks,
Matt

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
