<br>
while preparing a debian package of Gem, i stumbled across a<br>
help-browser weirdness, which i&#39;m not sure how to fix.<br>
<br>
the background: Gem comes both as a big binary (Gem.pd_linux) and a<br>
number of abstractions. everything is installed into /u/l/p/extra/Gem<br>
(to avoid cluttering the global filespace with Gem files); in order to<br>
use the abstractions painlessly (that is: without prefixing them<br>
&quot;Gem/&quot;), the /u/l/p/extra/Gem path has to be added somehow to Pd&#39;s<br>
search paths. (this can be done manually via the -path, or automatically<br>
by Gem). so far so good.<br>
<br>
the problem: starting Pd with Gem added to the paths, results in a<br>
not-so-nice help-browser experience: basically the left column (the one<br>
that is crucial for navigating the various directories) is filled with<br>
224 or so help-patches from Gem, sorted alphabetically (so directories<br>
are lost somewhere between files), and upper-case before lower-case.<br>
of course there is also a directory entry for Gem/ in the help-browser,<br>
making the information accessible two times (adding more confusion)<br>
<br>
given that both GF and Gem are to add their paths automatically on<br>
startup, the left column if the help-browser might have &gt;500<br>
help-patches and several dozens of directories.<br>
<br>
i don&#39;t know exactly where to fix the problem, but a simple solution<br>
would be to only allow directories on the left side (and add an entry<br>
for &quot;&lt;searchpaths&gt;&quot; (probably an entry for &quot;all searchpaths&quot; and<br>
separate entries for each searchpath), rather than throwing everything<br>
together.<br>
