Pardon me, it's been awhile since I used pd.

I have:

$ file /usr/lib/puredata/extra/bob~/output~.pd 
/usr/lib/puredata/extra/bob~/output~.pd: ASCII text

I added "/usr/lib/puredata/extra" into Preferences > Path. Then I created an [output~] and... "Couldn't create."

So I added "/usr/lib/puredata/extra/bob~" and... then it worked.

Is that expected behavior? I'd have imagined pd would search subdirectories, but it seems it doesn't. (Or it chokes on the fact that it's "bob~" rather than "bob.")

Thanks.

Pd won't search subdirectories, but since 'extra' is in Pd's search path, you can do this [bob~/output~] and it will work.
