yeah, this worked because of libdir.

I guess I mean nothing by than and am completely wrong. I'm thinking of the old extended behavior with libdir finding things automatically. I use *very few* externals at this point, so I shouldn't say anything more I suppose.

whereas throwing stuff in ../extra "just works".
what do you mean by that? when I throw 'mylib' folder (containing foo.pd) into ../extra, I either have to add ../extra/mylib to the user paths OR do [declare -stdpath mylib] or always do [mylib/foo]. so ../extra (and other standard paths) are apparently *not* searched recursively when trying to load an object and behave the same as user paths. it's just with [declare] where the difference comes into play.

I'm on Windows 7. Is this different on other systems!?
