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.
When does PD use this path-search function anyway? Because when I click on 'open' it still opens the 'bin' folders.
Greets and sorry for all these novice-questions.

This looks like a bug.

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.

We all were novices once. Those questions aren't off-topic at all, so you should post them to pd-list instead of here.

hi
this is what the documentation says about installing pd in windows: "Pd is compiled under NT, but should work under any version of Windows since 95. Pd will appear as a "zip" file. Unzip this, creating a directory such as \pd. (You can put it wherever you like but the path should have no spaces in it; so "Program Files" would be a bad place.)"
greetings
