Hi Andy
Thanks for the confirmation.
Just opened up the same patch on my Windows 10 partition, and the issue is the same with aenv~.
So it's not platform specific, but an issue with how Pd finds extras.
I can provide the patch with a bug report if that would be useful to the developers?
Best,
Oliver
