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?)

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.

Perfect, thank you!

Is there a way to allow other processes to output audio while pd-extended is running? I don't seem to have the problem running vanilla pure data, just pd-extended. I wanted to work on a patch that uses extended objects (eg l2s) but the part I'm working on doesn't have any audio involved so I was planning on listening to the radio in my Deadbeef player, but pd-extended seems to kill the audio for all other applications. DSP is off and I've tried disabling Input/Output for the selected audio device but nothing has worked so far.
