sorry, this was not intended to go to you privately, but to the list.
could resolve one issue. list-wrandom and list-random load fine in pd
0.39.3-extended after adding them to the extra folder (they were
missing before).
but they weren't missing in the pd 0.40.3 version.
i can't get this version to load any other externals.
after startup i get
"creb: can't load library
cxc: can't load library
iemlib: can't load library
list-abs: can't load library
mapping: can't load library
markex: can't load library
maxlib: can't load library
..."
so one question remains:
isn't the package contents automatically part of pd's search path?
if not, how can i change the search path, as with the pd preferences
menu i can't seem to navigate inside an application folder?
well, actually pd seems to find the libraries, but it can't load
them... what could cause this error?
thanks for any pointers. volker.

i'm looking again for a max equivalent in pd. when sending a bang to a table object in max you can use it as a probability table*.
is there something similar in pd?
[list-wrandom] from the [list]-abs collection is similar.
Use [list-tabdump] or Zexy's [tabdump] to get the values from a table into a list to feed into [list-wrandom].
thanks, frank, that's what i'm looking for.
but i ran into some strange filepath issue again on my computer
(osx 10.4.11, pd 0.39.3-extended). i can't instantiate the list-wrandom abstraction, although it's
sitting in the right place (inside the pd package in resources/ extra/list-abs) funny thing is, i can load all the other list-abs, but not list- random and list-wrandom.why would that be? isn't the package contents automatically part of pd's search path? if not, how can i change the search path, as with the pd
preferences menu i can't seem to navigate inside an application
folder?if i copy the abstraction with its helpfile to some folder and load
the help file, pd finds and loads the abstraction. so the current folder is part of the search path.any help would be appreciated. volker.
