hi, I just realized that I made some mistakes in the past and that declare actually is working better than I thought. here is what I forgot:
- declare only takes effect when you open the patch. stupid, I think I
read it, but... Some alleged "bugs" were caused by the assumption that it is enough to create a declare object and paths will be set... 2) no absolute paths! absolute paths work for -lib, but not for -path/-stdpath. at least on OS X it is not possible to set absolute paths (or at least I don't know how), all paths have to be relative to Pd (-stdpath) or to the patch (-path).
this means that declare becomes totally useful (for pd version 0.41 and up).
three more questions remain: how can I set absolute paths? Is the behaviour for abstractions cleared? and what is the order in which paths are searched for object classes?
marius.
Please add that info to your bug report, so we can keep track of the
status of things.
Thanks!
