Hi all, Is there a reason to not make use of a full stop in a namespace? E.G. [julianslib.dac~]?
Hi Julian, One problem is that it causes something like the double extra name collision avoidance problem.
- A cautious user will always leverage Pd's general collision avoidance by prefixing your library's directory
name in the object box.2. You, the developer, don't trust Pd's general collision avoidance to serve all possible
user needs, so you prefix a library name in the creator string.
3. Now the cautious user must type [ditters/ditters.karl] to create your object.
