Hm, I share Pd patches with people on and off this list for years now, it never was a big problem to use patches made by someone else, so I don't see where the problem is? Is it installing externals?
its knowing which externals to use, in the nameclash sense, as well as
in the nondescript error in the scroll like: expected float but got
'', etc. practically impossible to even tell which object it is
talking about...
This demonstrates why I am pushing for a namespace. If each patch has
a namespace, then that patch can save which versions of the objects it
uses as part of the patch.
Plus that error message should be more descriptive, its maddeningly
useless.
