Thanks Raphaël. It's especially good to know that Context works on Mac, since I haven't tested it there myself.
It looks like you don't have the zexy, iemguts or else installed. You can get them from Help-->Find Externals if you want, but the important thing is that Context works with the built in externals.
If you want to understand about resizing and shifting toggle floats, you can look at helpfiles/GUI_manioulation.pd
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!

Hi,
I might be late for the answer... I didn't know Context, but I just had a quick look about it and seems interesting concept. I am trying "externs-test.pd". I am using Macbook Pro 2012 with OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite and pd-vanilla 0.48-1
I don't have any "couldn't create" on load
I don't really know yet how to "resizing and shifting toggle floats"
The 4 objects seems to create but none of their help-files open with "right-click > Help"
I quit pd, renamed the 8 libraries folder as "_OUT_libraryname/" and re-opened "externs-test.pd" :
1B. Now I have a lot of "couldn't create" on load :
- demux
- l2s
- sort
- mux
- urn
- else/break &
- msgfile
- iemguts/initbang
- else/fromany
- else/toany
- else/routeall
- s2l
- time
- iemmatrix/matrix
- iemmatrix/mtx_check
... and a few chords that couldn't be created, and missing arrays (0-IDshare)
2B : still don't know how to "resize and shift toggle floats"
3B : [s2l] and [else/toany] don't create. The other two do open their help-patches with "right-click > Help"
NB : i don't have else library installed originally
Hope this helps !
cheers,
Raphaël

Hi Liam,
Amazing patching!
1: When you open this patch, are there any "couldn't create" messages in the console? If so, tell me!
There are not "couldn't create" on "externs-test.pd" but I found:
cyclone/tanh~ ... couldn't create
going through examples that use [docfiles/glock~].
On "12_overlay_examples.pd" & "13_embedding_(takes_several_minutes_to_load!).pd" i get:
<~ ... couldn't create &&~ ... couldn't create <~ ... couldn't create &&~ ... couldn't create <~ ... couldn't create &&~ ... couldn't create
2: Does Context seem to be working correctly? Try resizing it and shifting toggle floats to see.;
Resizing seems to work. I don't know what you mean with "shifting toggle floats to see".
Notes: when using "externs-test.pd" if I click on the *lower left toggle* i get:
0-crxyoff: no such object 0-roff: no such object 0-notsafe: no such object 0-roff2: no such object 0-crxyoff: no such object
But is not the case if I create a new patch and a new [context].
3: If the following objects have created correctly, can you call the helpfiles?
I can not open the help files.
Note: I have temporarily switched off my normal externals folder.
I can not open "00_first_time_tutorial.pd" it crashes Pd.

I've uploaded a draft of Context with externals which I hope will work "out of the box". The idea is that if a user wants to use their own externals, they simply delete the relevant folders from the main Context folder, and then the patch goes back to searching for the externals in the regular places. This is based on the assumption that PD searches for externals in the PD folder BEFORE searching in Documents/PD/externals or anywhere else. This appears to be the case on my Linux and Windows machines, but can I count on it always working?
Lucas, thanks for pointing me towards the old Extended binaries for Zexy. I didn't realized that they existed, and it helps to keep the file size small. The Context folder currently has 6mb of binary externals (Linux, Windows & OS), which seems to me like an acceptable cost.
If anyone wants to test it, I'd really appreciate it, in case I've made a mistake. You can download the test branch here, then follow the instruction in the file "externs-test.pd".
