afaik, [import] is part of pd-extended and is much older. [declare] is part of pd since 0.40.
altough [import] came first, i personally prefer [declare], because it's part of pd. i don't know if it is possible with [import] as well, but with [declare] you can specify paths either relative to pd or relative to the patch, which is quite cool, because you can use it for loading externals/paths from extra as well as directories, that are project specific and not installed in <pd>/extra. also, when loading pathes with [declare], they are only added to the patch itself. by the way: - has anyone ever succeded in adding a path from the extra directory with [declare -stdpath <dir>] on os x? on linux and window it works, if i do [declare -stdpath ../extra/<dir>] (for whatever reason, i have to prepend '../extra'). however, this didn't seem to work on osx. why? bug? - personally, i find that [declare] is pretty badly documented. what exactly means 'relative to pd' is not quite clear. for some reason, i am totally missing declare-help.pd right now. i performed a cvs update, but the file is still missing. am i doing something wrong here, or is it really missing in cvs? roman On Wed, 2007-10-31 at 16:06 -0400, Thomas O Fredericks wrote: > What is the difference between import and declare? > Pd 0.4 and up, will on of the two be deprecated? > > Tom > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___________________________________________________________ Der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm.
