#1 do you think "path" is a good name, or will people confuse that with "getdir"? probably [searchpath] would be more meaningful.
I'm not stuck on the name 'path', but I do insist on consistency. The prefs are called "Path...", the [declare] flag is called -path, and the command line arg is called -path.
so why is [import] not called [lib]?
while i beg for consistency myself, you must not forget the context where things appear. "path" in the context of starting an application can well mean something different than in the context of creating a programme, dealing with sound files. also i would not mind renaming the "Path..." to "Search paths..." in the prefs panel (i would object in the startup flags, for compatibility reasons)
#3 could anybody tell me why [declare] does not take immediate effect?
Check declare_new() in g_canvas.c
this question was not a technical one. i understand the implementation and its implications pretty well. nevertheless, i find the behaviour confusing and unintuitive. to rephrase my question: #3 could anybody tell me, why [declare] is implemented in a way that it doesn't take immediate effect?
