When is pdmtl going to be included in Pd-extended proper?
i would really like to see that happen. pdmtl depends on 2 libs
that are included in pd-extended but not loaded at startup: tof, iemmatrix. it would be as simple as loadlib44: tof, loadlib45: iemmatrix and include the pdmtl folder.
It is also as simple as [import tof iemmatrix] or [tof/blah] etc.
For the next release of Pd-extended, the plan is making none of the
libraries loaded by default. This is important since really all of a
patch's config should be stored in that patch.
Also, since we've been burned a number of times by putting libraries
into Pd-extended too quickly, I am strongly encouraging people to
first release their libraries as a libdir. This would be trivial to
do with pdmtl:
- mkdir pdmtl
- touch pdmtl/pdmtl-meta.pd
- cp *.pd *-help.pd pdmtl/
- tar cjf pdmtl.tar.bz2 pdmtl
Then on the user's machine:
- cd ~/pd-externals (or cd ~/Library/Pd, etc)
- mkdir ~/pd-externals (or mkdir ~/Library/Pd on Mac OS X, etc)
- tar xjf pdmtl.tar.bz2
Then in Pd:
- make new patch
- [import pdmtl]
- voila!
