I am not sure if I agree with your (frank's) point. wouldn't it be easier keep your pd searchpaths clean of non-pd related lua scripts than to put a fancy file extension on every script? anyway, I think 3 letters of file extension should be enough, *.pdl is shorter. or add an obligatory description statement somewhere in the first lines of the script so that pdlua recognizes it as a pd loadable lua script. marius.
