You can force the version by using the namespace prefix:
[cyclone/counter] [cyclone/prepend] [iemlib/gate]
this is what i am doing. i think that solves the issue.
i think even better would be to use built-in objects. in the case of [gate] and [prepend] this maps to one (or 2) built- ins, so no need for strange prefixes.
Except [list prepend], which I consider a stranger prefix. :) I
still prefer [cyclone/prepend] since you don't need to add [list
trim] to keep things in the same format they came in as (at least for
the things I seem to do regularly.)
Thereby rendering even the simplest of your patches completely useless to me, or anyone else who is a Pd-vanilla fan. I can understand using externals when they are neccessary, such as doing something with weird hardware, or some algorithm that is slow in pure Pd, but I really can't understand using an external in a situation like this.
Your choice though, I guess. Myself, I prefer to make my patches as portable as possible to the widest range of Pd users (pd-extenders included).
Sorry if I sound grumpy; not getting too much sleep here in Berlin. :)
