Hi all! I'm new to pd and have 2 basic questions:
I understand the concept of "abstraction", but when i use them in my patchs they don't work. Even with abstraction and patch saved into the same directory...what i'm missing?
In sampling with "soundfiler" object, i cannot acess my samples, even adressing their directories in "startup" and "paths", what's missing?
thanks Cristiano.

Hi Cristiano, could you be more specific about what doesn't work? For example, does the object not create? Have you created them with inlets and outlets, etc?

Again, what errors are you getting? It sounds like you are trying to setup a sample directory with the paths option... someone more experienced than me will have to chime in on whether this works. I always provide the full path (for example, from an [openpanel] object). If you could copy and paste what you see from the main window (where errors and other info are printed) it would help.

let's say you made an abstraction called 'myabs.pd', that is located in the same directory, where that main patch is located. now, when editing your main patch, you should be able to instantiate an object called [myabs]. if the surrounding box of the object [myabs] gets dashed, and you see an error in the pd window:
myabs ... couldn't create
that means, that pd couldn't find your abs [myabs] (which probably means, that it is NOT in the same directory as your main patch, e.g if you didn't save your main patch yet). if you don't see that error nor dashed lines, then everything is ok from pd's point of view. so, what exactly makes you think, that it does not work?

soundfiles (or any other file besides pd-files) are not searched in the searchpaths by pd. that means you have to specify the filenames with the path like '/home/yoyo/mysoundfile.wav'. you could alternatively use relative paths (relativ to your patch). when your soundfile is located in the same location as your patch, then you can just use 'mysoundfile.wav'. note: as long as you didn't save your patch, the path of your patch is the same as the path of the pd start location.
