in order to work with pd-ext i had to rename some object in chat and netpd-gui i.e. [l2s] to [zexy/list2symbol] or [netclient] to [maxlib/netclient]. is renaming zexy , maxlib objects with namespace the correct/only way in pd-extended?
hm, i didn't test myself, but since you are using pd-0.40 (extended or not) zexy and maxlib and stuff should be loaded by [declare]. i think currently they are only loaded as externals, which means, for extended we would need to add them as pathes as well (with '-stdpath' instead of '-stdlib'). could you test, if that works? there is no way in renaming all the objets.
most of them could be replaced with list-abs :)
i tested if [list2symbol] could create and reloaded a test patch with
did not create:
import zexy
declare -path zexy
declare -stdlib zexy
declare -stdpath zexy
declare -path
/Applications/Pd-0.40.3-extended-20071026.app/Contents/Resources/extra/
zexy
declare -stdpath
/Applications/Pd-0.40.3-extended-20071026.app/Contents/Resources/extra/
zexy
did create: import zexy/list2symbol declare -stdlib zexy/list2symbol
on osx 10.3.9 (it's an old cat) with Pd-0.40.3-extended-20071026.app
but again. i want to know the official way to load an external in
pd-extended. who can answer this or where is it documented?
the readme says "By default, most of the included libraries are loaded
at startup."
if import is the way to go what about all helpfiles, do they need to
get updated in order to work?
