I'm getting strange behavior on my system when trying to dynamically create an object located in a patch inside my Externals folder. The object creates if GOP is turned off, but not if it is turned on.</div>

Can anybody else replicated this?<br>

<li>Extract the attached "test-obj" folder to your Externals folder, or some other folder that is globally declared.</li><li>You can now create the object [test-obj] on a new canvas, even though the "externals/test-obj" folder is not declared.*</li><li>Download the attached "test.pd" file to another location (ie. Desktop) and open it.</li><li>This patch has one instance of [test-obj] in it, and instructions for how to dynamically create a new abstraction inside [test-obj]. On my machine, the new abstraction will instantiate only if [test-obj] has GOP turned off. If GOP is on, PD can't find "test-abstraction.pd"
inside the "test-obj" folder.<br>

* It seems that PD will search inside a folder for a file of the same name. Ie. when the folder "test-obj" is placed within the main "externals" folder, I can create the object [test-obj] but not the object [test-abstraction] I assume that this is a feature?
Either way, the buggy behavior goes away if I declare the "test-obj" folder.<br>
