I could use some help like pointing me a thread subject or something, I usually never find discussions I want and been part of in the archives... > please file a feature request at the deken project done https://github.com/pure-data/deken/issues/140 Oh, I am definitely going to challenge that notion.

But that it's exactly what it is doing right now! It always asks for the SAME folder *every time* you start Pd... which is _never_ the one I use. So if that was the reasoning, then this seems to have been in vain... and how about this issue I had with windows? Where it's forcing a workflow that doesn't work out of the box unless there is some workaround... > Deviating workflows wouldn't be harmed at all by auto-creation of > the user specific standard directory. It would actually have solve my issue in windows... cheers 2017-02-17 19:27 GMT-02:00 Roman Haefeli <[email protected]>: > On Fre, 2017-02-17 at 21:51 +0100, IOhannes m zmölnig wrote: > > > > > > it's trivial to create those folders (deken did that in the past), > > but > > it has been consciously disabled. > > I disagree.
