As I see it, you're just asking for [declare] to have a new feature added, one that would make it easy to search for libs elsewhere other than in the standard path (a.k.a. the "extra" folder)
absolutely right !
are not using (I'll emphasize nothing is stopping you from using "extra").
well, i DO like the idea of a different externals folder to make things a little better organized. so i would love to use it and not having to stuff everything into "extra"
So, if that's the case, I had already opened an issue and made a suggestion for exactly that! My idea is that the -path flag should also look in the paths that were added in the "path preferences". That would do the trick! Here's the issue report and its relative discussions: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/184
ahh, great ! so it's already reported. should have looked better !
thanks a lot for your clarifications !
and i will stay with "extra" for the moment
best
