- i'm not using readsf~ but soundfiler

- all my abstractions are in the same folder as the main patch

- i now noticed that it does not depend  on [declare ....]

- [declare -path .] introduces however another complication:

Pd gives in the header of a patch-window:
" name.pd - /path/of/this/patch "

the same for any used abstraction

WITH the declare the path for an abstraction in the header is extended with "/."

[getdir] (in Pdext) follows this change.

(all this is in Windows 7 and XP)

Are you using readsf~ to read th soundfile?  Unfortunately, readsf~
doesn't search along the canvas's path (for complicated reasons) and so needs
to be sent an explicit path, like "../folder/a.wav", to find files outside
the patch's directory.

Alternatively you can set Pd's global path in preferences -- readsf~ knows
how to use those even though it doesn't know about the patch's own declarations.

sorry, i should be more precise about what i experience.

i'm using "../folder" to load soundfiles in my patch.
while having a [declare -path .] in the main patch.

like i said in the first mail: this works when the patch is started
up 'directly'.

when i first start Pd and then open the patch with the menu-open
Pd cannot find the directory.
