[maxmsp] Re: Re: managing multiple patches

my max (4.6.3) only finds subpatches that are in the same directory, not in a subdirectory.
without adding anything to the eearch path this works:

/path/to/patch/main_patch +
/path/to/patch/sub_patch

and this doesn't:

/path/to/patch/main_patch +
/path/to/patch/sub/sub_patch

in the second example it can't find the sub patch. would be very nice if it would though. i'd prefer to keep all the dependencies of a big patch in a sub dir of the folder where the patch itself is, and _know_ that max will look there first, before it searches elsewhere in my file path.. things can be confusing when you have different versions of patches, subpatches, abstractions or externals floating around in the search path.

now i just put all the dependencies in the same folder as the main patch.
