#X text 594 182 It is a current best practice to just use [declare] instead of permanently adding paths to the user search paths or libs to startup. With [declare] you can better manage and avoid conflicts with externals from different libraries that have the same name by using it to call the right library you want., f 74;

#X text 17 51 Compiled external libraries come either as a single binary pack (the "classic" library format) or as a set of separate binaries and/or abstractions. A single binary pack is what we refer to as a 'library' and needs to be pre loaded - whereas external libraries that have separate binaries/abstractions can be loaded by simply adding its directory to the search path. Adding a directory to the path is also needed if you want to load things like audio and text files that are in it., f 78;

#X text 210 472 no error is given if the paths don't exist;
#X text 20 504 The "-path" and "-lib" flags will fall back to the other search paths if the relative path to the patch does not exist. To avoid checking further \, use an explicit relative path by prepending "./" or "../" to the path or lib name. If you don't do it \, the other search paths will be (in order of priority): the user added search paths (set in "Preferences => Path") and \, lastly \, the standard path (a.k.a the 'extra' folder) \, which is also searched with '-stdpath'/'-stdlib' (but only this folder is searched in this case)., f 77;
#X text 593 56 Paths declared with '-path' will have top search priority when loading the patch. Next priority is the relative path \, then user added search paths and finally the standard path (a.k.a the 'extra' folder)., f 74;
#X text 594 115 Since the 'extra' folder is part of the search path but last in priority \, you can use [declare -stdpath ./] to ensure it has search priority. Note that the order you specify '-path' flags also specify the search priority., f 74;
#X text 594 269 Note however that while [declare] only adds search paths for the owing patch \, when you load a library (via startup or [declare]) all etxernals get pre loaded and prevail even in other patches with priority. This may cause some issues and you may need to adopt slash declarations to find an external with the same name in a given path (as in [library/objectname].) These are edge cases anyway and for more details on how external loading works in Pd \, please refer to the chapter 4 of Pd's manual., f 74;
