i'm having similar troubles. in my previous version of pd (ext-0.38.4, still
the one that's on the pd website, so officially the official release of
extended, though everybody seems to be using 0.39?), there were a lot of
libs included that are not in 0.39.2-test5 for mac osx. also a lot of help
files are missing. am i supposed to just check what's missing in 39 and drag
'em in there from 38 (risking objects / abs with the same names or
overwriting things), or is there a pd-ext that has it all, iow am i just
using the wrong release? help would be much appreciated, as i'd love
starting to learn things that rely on objects / abs that are now missing (eg
memento).
cheers, robbert
