Why not always put your abstractions in the same directory as the patch? (Or in a subdirectory if you want to organize them that way.) It makes things more modular: e.g., you can just compress the containing directory and shoot it off rather than sending a separate attachment for abstractions and have them copy your manually-entered search patch settings (which most likely will not be the same across platforms).
Additionally, the patch directory is searched first (at least according to the manual), so you're less likely to run into name clashes that way. (And then you can guarantee no nameclashes by prefixing your abstractions with a "./" like [./my-abs].) -Jonathan --- On Tue, 2/15/11, Richie Cyngler <glitch...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Richie Cyngler <glitch...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [PD] noob question: trying to repurpose the G08.reverb.pd example To: "Morgan Packard" <mor...@morganpackard.com> Cc: "pd list" <pd-list@iem.at> Date: Tuesday, February 15, 2011, 3:45 AM I don't entirely follow what is happening with your files. But in order to access abstractions they need to have a file path, which you can setup via the preferences menu>>>Path. I don't know if you are aware of this or not. I put all mine in a folder called "abstractions" which I have set up a path to.

The "reverb-echo" abstraction isn't being found by my own patch (it shows up with a red outline, and an error in the console: "reverb-echo ... couldn't create". The example patch works fine, loads that abstraction no problem. But it doesn't work in my own patch. I tried loading a different abstraction in to my own patch, and it loads just fine. Any ideas what's going on here? How can I get better debugging information than "couldn't create"? thanks! -Morgan -- ================================Web: http://www.morganpackard.com Music/Art:Latest album: Moment Again Elsewhere iOS app Thicket available on iTunes store. ================================ _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list -- shiny Rich -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
