Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:
Actually, the libdir stuff doesn't need to be a patch. Its on my
TODO list to make it a loader using the loader module functionality
that Thomas added. I guess I should bump it up on the TODO list...
My main problem is how help files are found with abstractions. Normally it is enough to put a help file next to the abstraction like
$ ls list-drip.pd list-drip-help.pd
and all is fine, on right-click the correct help file is found. However with directory namespace this layout is broken:
$ ls list/* list: drip.pd drip-help.pd
It's not possible to find a help-file for [list/drip] this way,
Instead I need to use another "help" directory with another "list" subdirctory and add that "help" dir to the help path.
So I need one "list"-directory with "drip-help.pd" in the help-path and another "list"-directory with "drip.pd" in the Pd-path with plain Pd, which is way more complicated that using filename prefixes.
If I understand correctly what the libdir patch does, it's basically allowing help-files to live next to the original patch even with directory prefixes. This is important functionality IMO.
