I see how distributing only one file is simpler than a folder with many pd files, but having many copies of the same code is impractical and clumsy. How about an extended file format (.pdz?) that is actually an archive containing all the relevant files that would be extracted on the fly at loading time? I can't count the number of software that work like this, so there is precedent. Am not sure if the added bloat to Pd would be worthwhile... Roman
