Hi,
Too often I browse the help-browser of Pd Extended and some of the objects in the help-patches of some externals cannot create. Often even the object whose help patch I'm opening does not exist.
For example [tcpsocketserver] is missing while there is a tcpsocketserver-help.pd patch in MrPeach folder,
or [nsend] is missing while there is a nsend-help.pd patch.
And now I don't remember but there were a few more...
Is it normal? I mean have these objects been removed [or renamed] for some reason and the author forgot to remove [or update] the help patches? Or is there something wrong in the Pd Extended I have downloaded? (0.41.4 Windows)
Thanks m.
As far as i know, not all the externals are enabled by default on pd-extende, maybe try to do [import mrpeach] and see if it works, other way you can do it is choosing the folder of the external you want on file -> startup and add the name of the folder with the external you want, this way it will always load on startup

Well in the case of MrPeach and nsend I am actually missing the files. In the MrPeach directory I have got no tcpsocketserver.dll file (I have and can create other objects such as tcpserver, routeOSC, etc).
In the case of nsend, indeed i've just realised that they are all abstractions, not externals, and that nsend is not in the startup list. This explains that when I open nsend-help.pd with the help browser, it cannot find nsend.pd which is not in the doc folder.
There is one crazy thing though. Even if I open nsend-help.pd from the extra/nsend folder, where there _is_ a nsend.pd abstraction file, the instances of [nsend] within the patch don't create!!!!
I don't especially need [nsend], I don't even know what it is for; i was just browsing through the help patches and noticed that I often miss some object....
Thanks m.
