I'm creating a patch that uses an h_map object. I noticed that if I open my patch or try to create an h_map without first looking at the help-file for PDContainers the object fails to create (shows as a red-dashed outline and the console complains "... couldn't create"). Once I have opened the PDContainers help-file, I can re-open my patches that use h_map (or create a new h_map) and the object initializes successfully.

Put [import pdcontainer] into your patch and [h_map] should load fine. I think this is just a case of the pdcontainer library not being set to load automatically.

Yes that works. Sorry to ask such a basic question, I am new to PD. Tried asking in the IRC channel but it was pretty quiet in there.

(Also, is the forum 'search' function broken for everyone or just me?)
