The idea with [declare] is similar to Python "import".
We have moved away from Pd-extended's "just load everything into the same name space" approach towards a more explicit declaration for paths and libs. This requires an extra step but it also *helps* make patches more portable in that it is much clearer to see what libraries the original author specifies as opposed to "oh I guess it worked in Pd-extedend but I have no idea what externals those objects come from."
Hi,
yes, it fixes the problem.
I haven't used Pd heavily in recent times, and wasn't aware of the [declare] thing (and I guess my general expectation was that something installed by a package manager is available right away without any further interaction).
But now, if someone asks me why stuff installed with deken isn't available I at least know the answer :)
Best, Niklas
