configurable abs and patches directory #1

Closed eerne closed 4 years ago

eerne commented 12 years ago

make abs and patches directory configurable so you can git submodule netpd and work with abs and patches directory that live outside of netpd.

I thought about that as well. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out a way to do so yet. The main obstacle is that the current Pd way of handling paths. It does not allow to add a path dynamically during a Pd session. [declare] takes only effect on the next load of the patch but not at the time of instantiation.

If netpd would be started from script, those issues could be easily overcome. The script could read the config file and specify the options necessary for enabling the right paths when starting pd.

netpd 2.2.0 implements a configurable netpd-instruments-path. You can change it in netpd-preferences.
