For example, if you want to write your own version of sigmund~ in order to easily compare it with the built-in one (as I'm busy trying to do now.) The stuff in extra is there because I think it's useful (except for pique and fiddle~ which are just plain obsolete) but could be done in any number

I did indeed have "use standard paths" disabled for some reason. Enabling it solved the issue. Thanks Miller! Now I'm curious what the advantage is to disabling standard paths. On Sun, Oct 20, 2019 at 12:54 PM Miller Puckette wrote: > If you have "use standard paths" disabled in the path

If you have "use standard paths" disabled in the path preferences this could happen. (It's on purpose :) cheers Miller On Sun, Oct 20, 2019 at 10:33:59AM +0200, Dan Wilcox wrote: > What OS and Pd version are you using? How did you install Pd? > > Pd 0.50-2 on my macOS 10.14 system creates all

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with Pd 0.50-1 compiled from source (thanks to Miller who helped me figure that out!). When I open help-intro.pd, I get the following errors: sigmund~ ... couldn't create bonk~ ... couldn't create choice ... couldn't create hilbert~ ... couldn't create complex-mod~

I realized that although help-intro.pd (accessible by right clicking a blank section of canvas and going to Help) lists objects in pd/extra, those objects wouldn't create until I added the path. It that the expected default behavior? It seems to me that objects included in Pd vanilla shouldn't
