Is there anyway to make the -path flag include subdirs within the
specified path(s)? I categorise my abstractions in separate dirs, and don't want to have to specify a new -path dir every time I've created a new abstraction.
If this feature isn't available... then count it in for the Pd
wishlist.

Actually, I'm planning to do something simpler, which is simply to look, for example, not only for files named "fiddle~.pd_linux" but also "fiddle~/fiddle~.pd_linux". In the meantime I'm just linking (linux) or copying (NT) the externs to the parent directory as a stopgap...

P.S. my incoming mail was broken for a few hours yesterday, but I think I got all the Pd list stuff OK...

Pardon my jumping in here, but I think David was talking about abstractions, and not externs. What you suggest, IMHO, is fine for being able to keep extern makefiles and source code grouped together, but I don't see how it would help for the case where you have a hundred or so abstractions.
FWIW, I too, would like what David suggests. It is quite easy to quickly have many dozens of abstractions, and a pain to keep adding to -path everytime the abstractions are regrouped into different directories for organization.

hi,
you can always prepend any subdirectory name or names to abstraction
or external name in an object box. If, for example, there is a search
-path ~/my-abs' to the main directory for abstractions and in this main directory there are subdirectories, say,nice' and 'nasty', and
there is an abstraction noises.pd' in~/my-abs/nice/', then simply
write [nice/noises]. If there is another noises.pd' file in~/my-abs/nasty/', then to load this version write [nasty/noises].
The same goes for externals, but with one exception: loading [nice/noises] extern registers the `noises' symbol as a valid class name, and then you can write abreviated [noises], which will always mean [nice/noises] even if later on you create a different [nasty/noises] external object.
