[PD] should I use pddp/link in help patches?

[Liam Goodacre]

Hi José


This will only work with a pre-loaded abstraction or subpatch. I'm talking about opening a new file that isn't already loaded.


You can open files like this:


[; pd open file.pd my/directory(


but it will only work with absolute, not relative directory paths.

The [link] object is great for linking between help files, but I don't know how many people use it now that Extended has gone. By way of a survey, how many people have this external installed already? Seems like it will just be a nuisance if people have to download it just to read a help patch, but on the other hand it's a shame to give up on it since it's such a useful tool.


Assuming that it's not widely used any more, are there any other ways of opening a relative path from within PD?
