Re: [sc-dev] [Approve?] Add 'Extensions' directories to compiler

[Josh Parmenter <joshp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, as far as SynthDefs and recordings go, aren't those set in the 
language already? For using a different synthdef/ I'm just setting the 
synthDefDir classvar. It doesn't seem like you would need to move the 
server from wherever it already lives (in Applications for me, for 
example).

Though it does make sense then that I wouldn't be able to run scsynth 
from the command line (for NRT for example) with my synthdefs being 
stored somewhere else. Within the app though, calling NRT (with Score) 
doesn't have any problems finding the synthdefs.
