Hello,
I feel like this came up before but I failed to find it.
Can I load a lib or declare a path via tcl/tk gui plugin? If so how might this happen?
Thanks! m
You'd load Tcl libs via the standard Tcl ways. I don't think you could load a Pd lib, if that's what you mean.

what i ended up doing for [punish] is to send a "declare -lib /full/path/to/my/library" message to one of the hidden canvases created by Pd.
this works well so far, but exploits a few things:
- the existence of hidden canvases with fixed names (thanks jonathan for
the hint)
- the fact that library loading in a canvas (as opposed to adding
search-paths) works globally.
luckily for me i only need to load a single external per gui-plugin (no need to care about "path"s)
anyhow, this is exploiting some implementation detail of Pd and i'd very much prefer it, if the "pd" receiver would accept "declare" messages with which to add searchpaths and load libraries globally (in the same fashion as adding "-lib foo -path bar" to the startup flags)

yeah i was doing something like:
pd_connect::pdsend "pd path-dialog 1 0 +/path/to/foo" pd_connect::pdsend "pd startup-dialog 0 + +py +Gem"
but thought there might be a better way.
I will look at your [punish]...
thanks! m
