hi,

i have some questions about the Preferences (i'm on Windows 10, Pd-0.48.1).

after changing the 'Externals Install Directory' in the Preferences (EID for short) plugins are still loaded from the standard AppData/../Pd folder.

is that a bug?

depends on your pov.

the "Externals *Install* Directory" is an output directory (where to
store download externals) rather an input directory (where to search for
externals).
you do have a list of search-directories on the top of that very
searchpath-preferences window you are currently interacting with...

@IOhannes

thanks for the clarification.
still, the searchpath-preferences are apparently different for externals and for plugins.
for the plugins the standard folder is used anyway and also first.

BTW is there a way to declare a .pdsettings in the command-line?
(i cannot find one).
