sorry, i know i could have just emailed hans directly, but the pd list is at the very top of my contacts list :)
question 1) did you remove [sssad] from pd-extended? i don't want to download a new version just to check, as my current version is up and working beautifully.
Yes, since of the libdir issues. It didn't make sense to include it if it was unusable.
question 2) how long do you think it will be until the final release of 0.40 extended? i have a huge library of [sssad]-based abstractions that i would like to add. it's all working very well at the moment, and could be added now, but there are a couple more things i'd like to finetune if i have time.
I think you should try releasing it as a libdir that people can install themselves. Pd-extended on all platforms is setup to use a global and per-user folder for installing externals:
GNU/Linux: /usr/local/lib/pd-externals and ~/pd-externals
Mac OS X: /Library/Pd and ~/Library/Pd
Windows: %ProgramFiles%/Common Files/Pd and %UserProfile%/Application Data/Pd
.hc
cheers.
