Hello again,
Is there an object that gets PD to search directories for abstractions, without resetting the -path flags on startup? And is there any way to do so recursively? I create an abstraction, say [frac] which returns the fractional value of a float. I have an abstractions directory called "mbarb", and inside that a directory called "math" where I want to put [frac]. I then want to be able to send my patch to a friend, with the mbarb abstractions, and have the patch load them automatically -- (I would prefer [frac] to [mbarb/math/frac] ..)
Is there a way to do this, and if so do you know offhand after which version this became available? I have heard much talk about [declare], but I have not tested any version of PD after 0.39, and it doesn't seem to work there or before, unless I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks again,
Matt
