"Regardless of path, Pd should look first in the directory containing the patch before searching down the path. Pd does not automatically look in the current directory however; to enable that, include ``." in the path. The ``extra" directory, if enabled, is searched last."
This isn't true for new patches, which automatically get the current
directory added to the path (at least on an Ubuntu Maverick machine running
Pd version 0.42-6).
Also, if you do add a "." to the search path, then
an object like [./blah] can refer either to "blah" in the patch directory
(which, luckily, gets searched first) or the current directory. I've
never used this feature but it seems really odd to have "./" referring to
two different things at once.
