I cc'ed the Pd-list since I think this is relevent there.

Hello HC,
i was just trying to pick this up, but i'm kinda confused with the
new startup order. It seems at the moment of
load_startup_plugins(), which is by the end of pdtk_pd_startup() we
don't yet have a functional ::pdwindow::verbose to print on the
console. (Also, the '---done with main---' message at the end of
main doesn't appear on my console.)
Do you have an idea on this?
the "done with main" thing was just a debug message. So the verbose
proc doesn't work in a plugin?
it doesn't - and imo it's strange that it doesn't work at the end of
main{} either
Plus (i couldn't go into it, but) it seems to me that startup
plugins are run twice.
It seems this is because both $::sys_searchpath and
$::sys_staticpath contains ~/pd-externals (where i keep these
plugins). Is it my error that i've added it once to my patch list
or is it like this for everyone? And - do you think a mechanism to
prevent loading a plugin more than once is necessary?
Sounds like you have ~/pd-externals added as a path via the
preferences. Its now part of the hard-coded sys_staticpath.
Yes, that's the situation. I'm just worried that other people may
have 'double' entries too, which could cause all kinds of
weirdnesses in the future, not only with plugins. One of the
following methods could be implemented:
a) When sys_searchpath and sys_staticpath are concatenated (or even
before) we filter out double entries
b) We don't let the user add a folder to sys_searchpath which is
already in sys_staticpath
c) We just make sure that load_startup_plugins{} doesn't load the
same plugin twice
I'd recommend a)
Andras
That is a good point. I guess a) makes sense.
For c) I guess there should be some kind of array that stores the full
path of a particular plugin once its been loaded, so then we can check
and prevent double-loading.
