Hi, [import] was part of Extended. If I am not mistaken, it worked in Extended because of some changes to the core code specific to it, hence it was never an external or did not ever work in Vanilla
it *does* work with vanilla. e.g. there's a Debian package "puredata-import" which provides the [import] external.
having said that, the rest of alexandre's mail is correct: [import] is a Pd-extended thing and has been replaced with [declare] in Pd-vanilla.
There is no reason to go back.
(the only reason that there is a Debian package for this external is, that a) compatibility with Pd-extended patches and b) nobody bothered to remove it)
