since i think that lorenzo relates to me raising the issues, i can confirm that i am indeed concerned with pd-extended automatically creating the ~/pd-externals folder. i don't mind so much if the ~/pd-externals folder is searched automatically, but why would anybody want to have an empty folder in their home-directory. > No sudo or root access needed. people who are able to copy a file from ~/Downloads/superduper into ~/pd-externals can probably be expected to be able to create a ~/pd-externals directory. for externals that come with an installation routine (for users who are not willing to copy files around manually), this can create the directory as well. ghmsdft IOhannes
