Hello, Deken is really great, but spams my linux home, everytime I load an external.
I suggest since it is now official in vanilla, we should refine now were to store/load externals in linux/debian for future compatibility. I know it is not deken, but Pd which delivers the paths, but on Standard Linux system which respects https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ it should go under .local/share/puredata or .local/lib/pd/ or for old style .pd/ but not on $(Home)/pd-<something>. So two solution: a) Deken should not take just pathes from pd but try preferred ones and add pathes to pd on startup b) Pd suggest as first writeable pathes among others non user-writeable: /var/lib/pd (group puredata set) /usr/local/share/pd, (group puredata set) $(HOME)/.local/lib/pd $(HOME)/pd-external and deken decides: if the parent dir is writeable it create it and uses it. so if no ./local it would not take it, but the next suggestion and if in the puredata group which can write to /var/lib/pd take this or c) deken at least ask where to write it mfG Winfried Am Mittwoch, 4.
