The 'pd -path' and 'pd -lib' things are a bit muddled conceptually the way they are sometimes used. The concept should be something like:

-path - a folder to load libraries, externals, etc. from
-lib - load a library into the global namespace.

IMHO, a library loaded with 'pd -lib' should do eveything needed to be fully loaded. gridflow has done this for a while, libdir is another approach. Gem seems to have the code to do this, but its not always enabled. I think this should always be enabled with Gem too.

sorry if I miss some of the basics in pd-loading-libs or if this was discussed before but wouldn't it make sense to have a difference between what is added to 'path' and what goes into the HelpBrowser ? (i.e. -lib loads externals, help, ... and goes into HelpBrowser and - path adds whatever to the patch namespace but not to HelpBrowser)

it's weird to have my music directories on the top of HelpBrowser.
