[PD] PD-vanilla repo for Linux?

[José Rafael Subía Valdez]

Sounds like you have problems on how the libraries are set to Pd path or
are called.

if you do [libName/objectName] you are telling Pd the "dir" of the object
in its creation. This lets you avoid loading it to path in Pd preferences.
So either save the paths in Pd preferences and avoid the
[nameoflibrary/object] and just use object. If the library is not loaded on
start up and you want to avoid the libname, then you can also use [declare]
to load path and objects correctly in each patch.

if this is a problem with large patches, remember that you can open the
file as a text and modify with search and replace quickly in any texteditor
like nano, gedit or such.

I have been using vanilla ever since extended died and have run into no
problems. just deciding how to code, deciding between these 3 ways of
loading and calling objects.

my 2 cents
