Hi,

I made a patch in Pd Vanilla and happened to create some abstractions that have same names (but completely different functionality) as some Pd Extended objects; so now if I open it in Pd Extended, the externals will be used instead of my abstractions.

Is there a way I can change this precedence, and have the abstractions in the patch folder take priority over library externals in case of name clashes?

thanks
m,

You're asking "how do i win a fight?" and i'd say "avoid the fight" :o)
what i'm saying is you could rename those abstractions, and i'f they are used too frequently in patches you could search&replace all occurrences at once with a text editor or grep.
Of course if there is no other circumstance that goes against it.
