Yeah, this is a bummer. This the big problem with the namespaces as they are now. If a binary object is loaded like [bsaylor/svf~], still claims the [svf~] name. So in this case, [cyclone/svf~] comes first in the search path, so its normally [svf~]. But if [svf~] or [cyclone/svf~] has never been loaded, then the 'svf~' name is unclaimed. Then when [bsaylor/svf~] is loaded, it claims [svf~]. Sad but true. So the help patch you get is a good clue to which one actually claimed [svf~]. .hc _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
