Hallo, Peter Plessas hat gesagt: // Peter Plessas wrote:

i wrote an abstraction and put it into a subfolder (named 'pp') inside my 'abs' folder.

Pd's path points to that 'abs' folder.

Loading the abstraction with [pp/absname] works great, but pd searches for the helpfile in: abs/pp/pp/absname-help.

Even if i explicitly set the helppath to abs/pp, the same search (abs/pp/pp) is done and the helpfile isn't found of course.

This is pd version 0.40-2.

Is this normal? Am i missing something?

You need to set both -path and -helppath to "abs", then it should work. In the helpfile, I would probably recommend to use the object without directory prefix, as the helpfile then also would work for the object when called without prefix.
