Hallo, Adam Lindsay hat gesagt: // Adam Lindsay wrote:
If I want to, for example, add pddp help patches without overwriting the original pd help patches, I can put them in another directory, and then add that directory as another line in my .pdrc. I personally would use these -path and -helppath directives to keep the pd installation "clean" and then point to other directories for externals and their help patches.
I know of some externals, for example iemlib, that already put their help-files into subdirectories. iemlib for exampls looks in doc/5.reference/iemhelp/
In the source, this is achieved by setting the path relative to the default help path:
class_sethelpsymbol(t3_delay_class, gensym("iemhelp/help-t3_delay"));
I did this, too, once.
ciao
