Hallo, Thurstan hat gesagt: // Thurstan wrote:
The 'PD search path for patches and other files' menu is not clear to me. It contains a line with G:/Program Files/pd/extra/
When I close it and open it again it containts two lines:
G:/Program Files/pd/extra/
This is due to the space I quess. When I then restore the first line and add "" like so: "G:/Program Files/pd/extra/" the path-menu will not open anymore.
This looks like a bug.
When does PD use this path-search function anyway? Because when I click on 'open' it still opens the 'bin' folders.
The search path has another function: It tells Pd, where to look for objects (externals or abstractions) that are not built-in in Pd. All those *.dll files in pd/extra/ for example can only be used it you have this directory in you Pd search path.
Greets and sorry for all these novice-questions.
We all were novices once. Those questions aren't off-topic at all, so you should post them to pd-list instead of here.
