After a few weeks of wondering how this works, I've more or less figured out how to add externals to my PD installation, at least I think I have, because I still run into patches that doesn't load the externals used in it, even though the externals are in the "extra"-directory. OK then, I think to myself, I have to add each subdirectory of externals to the path in PD's fererences. This seemed to have the desired effect. And now to the problem, only 10 lines of paths are possible in PD. Or does it work like this, that I can only ´see´ 10 line's of added paths? Or have I completely missed how this aspect of PD works?
Anyways, what I want is for all subdirectories in the extra-directory in my PD 39.2-extended to be accessable from PD, as if they were an integrated part of the installation. I've tried to use (add) the pd-settings.reg that comes with the pd-extended installation, but it has not had the desired effect.
Could someone please shed some light on this problem for me?
Cheers! Thomas

Yes. You only see 10. You can add more by for example using colons.

Ps. I take it you live in copenhagen. That makes us at least three, i
think. There is another Steffen too - Leve Poulsen. There must be
more round and about. Maybe some local patching would be fun?

Yup, thats right. I'm pretty sure that some patching is being done at LAB already - Actually I know it is ;)
Thanks for the feedback Steffen, any ideas why the reg-file in the windows installation doesn't do the trick, it is supposed to add all the libs from the extended version of PD?
Cheers! Thomas

I know next to nothing about win32.
But i think the basic reason why they don't all work out of the box
in Pd-extended, is that some are not loaded to avoid name clashing.
One way to go about it is to add them to the startup prefs, but
bearing in mind, that there might be name clashing. Another is to use
[import <lib>], this require of cause the import object which is not
in vanilla Pd . A third is to call objects as [<lib>/<objectname>]
fx. [cyclone/pow~ ]. I tend to prefer the later, as is reflect from
where the object comes and as such also helps my organize my code.

Are you thinking about Labsalonen? I was there the first time, having
the opportunity to have a closer look at the abiunix system (that
uses devel 0.37), but apart from that there wasn't much Pd action.
Other then that Lab is, to my experience, fairly closed for day to
day use.
