Aha... I thought using absolute paths (with quotemarks) would solve that problem or be a workaroudn. I guess I gussed wrong. Thank you, I will try running Pd in a different folder altogether :)

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
- 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

Hallo,

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
iles 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.
ciao

This may have changed in 0.37. Miller's Windows distro for 0.37 installs into C:\Program Files\pd by default, so I'd imagine that it would work properly. But I haven't tested it at length yet, so I couldn't say for sure.
