Its quite appalling that I didn't see this until now. I was super
busy back in Sept and I guess i never saw this again until now.
Anyway, I fixed it, so the fix will be included in the nightly builds:

For future reference, feel free to nag me on this kind of thing.

Hi hans/all, I'm trying to switch my entire library of patches over to [import] and removing everything from my path to decrease loading time of my very nested patches.
Everything worked great for the libdirs in extra (in the Pd-extended.app bundle), but I'm not having any luck [import]ing from anywhere else (i.e. my personal patch collection). According to http://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files-with... , I was under the impression I could add libdirs (which I have added -meta.pd files to) to ~/Library/Pd or /Library/Pd and [import] would find them.
But, I'm unable to instantiate any of the patches in my libdirs after doing this and [import]ing them.
[import] does not, at least, complain, when I instantiate it (i.e. I get "libdir_loader: added 'Concepts' to the canvas-local objectclass path" rather than "error: [import]: ERROR: can't load library in 'Concepttt'") so, something is working.
Moving my directories into extra/ fixes the problem, but I'd rather
not do that!Also, is it defined at a source level that ~/Library/Pd and /Library/Pd are the only places libdirs can be loaded from (I couldn't find it i so)? Or, is is just that every folder in the global path is searched for libdirs (or, at least, is that how it's meant to be)?
Cheers Luke
