The 10 items thing is a well known bug... An import help patch
exists, but it doesn't seem to get installed properly. That's a bug,
it should be reported:

Hi Hans,
The problem (for me) is not exactly loading extended libraries at start up. The problem starts when you try to modify the path slots in the file menu. After this I don't know what happens...Some libraries are missing...
And I start to ask myself: Why ten? If I overwrite one slot I miss the overwrote library? I've checked the registry and the adresses were there...
To complete, after rewrite the registry...nothing loads...and I have to reinstall PD, again
I already checked the docs and the information is cloudy...for me. This affect directly the modularity and development of libraries.Is it possible to create a super-searching path (with subdirectory search)? So, if you want load something, just throw the folder there.
[import] doesnt work, and it has no docs, until now I am using Pd version 0.39.3-extended-rc5
Best

I haven't been able to reproduce this problem. All of the
libraries should be loaded by default. This is how it worked for me on the two WinXP machines I've tested on.Perhaps there is something stuck in the registry that is causing
problems. Try deleting the Pd registry settings. Delete this whole folder:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pd
Careful! You can really screw things up if you delete the wrong
thing. Then try reinstalling using this version:http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/2007-10-10/Pd-0.39.3- extended-windowsxp-i386.exe
If that doesn't work, please file a bug report with as much
information as possible..hc

objects in pd-extended. To use the colon as separator does not seem to work on Windows -
which makes sense since paths usually contain a colon as well. And if I want to use all libs in extended I have to list 51 paths
since that is the number of folders in /pd/extra/! And it is very confusing (especially for a beginner) when the
help patches in the browser do not work from the beginning. It would be wonderful to have a "working out-of-the-box" solution
to this problem. (and yes - I clicked the reg file) pd-extended is a great effort and if this issue can be solved it
would improve the usability enormously. /AndersMax Neupert wrote: Am 07.10.2007 um 07:12 schrieb Luiz Naveda:
Nowdays I have had a strange problem. I have my own library which depends on some other libraris from PD extended. When I have to install it in other computers, I put my folders in 2 of the 10 slot- path but normally it misses 3 or 4 other libraries, so I start to look for the missing objects and rewrite all missing libraries in the 10 slots...
to add more entries you may use the : as a separator as described
