hans, i have found the source of my problem. sorry for not adding this to the bug-tracker, as i don't check that, but i do check this mailing list often.
for some totally weird reason, this version of extended won't let me load sssad.pd
i added the path to the sssad folder, and that's no problem.
but when i try to create a sssad object, the following happens:
pd 'thinks' for about 10 seconds, then the console is bombarded with:
libdir_loader: added 'sssad' to the canvas-local objectclass path libdir_loader: added 'sssad' to the canvas-local objectclass path libdir_loader: added 'sssad' to the canvas-local objectclass path
...about 1000 times, and then finally says:
error: maximum object loading depth 1000 reached sssad ... couldn't create
if i change the name of sssad.pd to anything else ( eg. sssad2.pd ) then it loads fine as an abstraction.
if i open the sssad.pd patch by itself, then that also works.
but for some reason, i cannot create [sssad] as an abstraction in another patch.
this is on mac os 10.49 intel
