[PD] commandline flag '-path': supposed to search standard pathes?

[Roman Haefeli]

hi all

when using the '-path' flag on the commandline (NOT IN [declare]!!!), is
it supposed to search standard directories as well?

actually, it does it only 'half', which is kind of an odd behaviour.

example: 

testpatch.pd contains an object [netclient], which is part of maxlib
no .pdrc or any other preferences file is used for these tests.

test 1:
-------------------------------------------------------------

cd ~/
pd -path extra/maxlib ~/testpatch.pd

.......

 [netclient] does instantiate. it seems, that when pd is started from
users home, standard pathes are search as well by '-path'.



test 2:
------------------------------------------------------------

cd ~/pd/
pd -path extra/maxlib ~/testpatch.pd

....

[netclient] does NOT instantiate. it seems, that when pd is launched
from a directory different from users home, standard pathes are NOT
searched by '-path'.



should that behaviour be considered as a bug? millers documentation
isn't of much help in this case, since it only says:

"-path <path>     -- add to file search path"
