behaviour on exactly the same version of Pd across multiple systems


 just in one system and in one computer

, then you are apparently running into some race condition.

I thought about something like this because the error happens on the faster
machine, which may load stuff faster

Hmmm, yeah, I'm aware things are different in 0.54 and the object browser
PR I sent does this differently.

So, I'm not sure I get it but I'm assuming this won't be an issue in the
next version, right? Please confirm.

I can wait though, no problem. For now I'll just tell people to add else's
folder to the search path in preferences-->path and I can name the .tcl
file in order to load it as a tcl plugin like others.

cheers
