I opened up iemlib and iemmatrix in the browser of Pd-extended 0.43 and it looks like the binaries are in the same dir as the help patches. Are there some iem* libs that aren't like this? >the last isn't so hard to fix, it's a just a single word to put in startup >file, >but the first is full of helpfiles where many different objects from different >libs couldn't be created, >some even crashes pd (win32 still, 20120720 version). Did you file a bug report for the crashes? As for help patches using objects from different libs-- they should probably add [import] for those objects, or better yet use Vanilla objects instead. (But I know that can't be done for everything-- some help patches use stuff like [grid] for an example patch.) > >Also the main problem isn't really about figuring out what's happening in >patches, >but something that has been often debated in the list, conflictual objects, >same name but different behaviors, like [counter] for example, is this has >been solved after all? I'm not sure of the current status of this problem or the road map to fixing it. -Jonathan > > > _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
