[PD] [declare -stdpath] relative to what?

[Roman Haefeli]

hi again

from the help-file i got an idea, how about it is supposed to work, but
i can't get it work. can you make me a working example? did you test
this feature?

here a real-world example (from my first post in this thread):

location of pd:
/usr/local/bin/pd

and i wanted to load [bp2~] from 'iemabs':
/usr/local/lib/pd/extra/iemabs/

therefore i tried:
[declare -stdpath iemabs] (assuming 'extra' is the standard location)
[declare -stdpath ../lib/pd/extra/iemabs] (relative to the pd binary)
[declare -stdpath extra/iemabs]


for each example, i first saved the patch with the [declared] and
reloaded it and tried to instantiate [bp2~], but it always failed. i
can't imagine, what argument i am supposed to give to [declare
-stdpath].

here is what i get from verbose output:

- [declare -stdpath extra/iemabs]

(sorry for this huge post)

i noticed, that it never tries a combination of the prefix
'/usr/local/<whatever>' and the argument i give, wich means, that it
just doesn't try 'standard' locations, as the help-files mentions. it
only tries either  '/usr/local/<whatever>/<classname>.<suffix>' or
'/<path_of_the_patch>/<argument_i_give_to_declare>.
