Hi all,
it seems that the ways of dealing with externals and paths is always in flux! I would like to confirm a suspicion that, for the time being, the following works the way I think it does, assuming PD 0.39:
[library/object] imports that specific object into global namespace, and can accommodate different objects with the same name from different libs. This method does not allow access to help patches or abstractions in the library path.
[import library] imports the whole library into global namespace, including help patches and other abs (usually, although I have often found this broken in Extended). It cannot accommodate different objects with the same name from different libs, as the last library imported will have priority.
Is this correct so far? Has anyone documented this any more substantially anywhere? How does this change for 0.40?
best! d.
