<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">why is it that using standard install locations isn't encouraged (or rather, why did it move into Documents of all places?)</span><br>

Imo it would be less confusing for -stdlib to load paths as well so it could be used for a specific library whether it is multi-or single-binary.
<div>(and then if [declare] were canvas-local for libraries, and if you could load objects from multi-object libraries by using lib/object as well</div>

<div>that would be the best case scenario. But I understand there are technical limitations https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/630 </div>

<div>I don't think this should be changed as there are some situations where you want to look in extra, such as when bundling externals with a custom version of Pd.</div>
