I wonder if anything should be considered for multi-instance support as well
(externals compiled w/ PDINSTANCE)

hi,
TL;DR i'd like
Joining the discussion:
I think the "deken-specifier" is Ok.
We should probably be prepared for both apps installations coexisting.
In the case of Windows we should have a different default location and a
name for the double app. Think of Pd-double whose default installation
via the
One "con" I can imagine is that there are "cleaner" alternatives than
name mangling.
For example, VST3 plugins use a bundle structure which also allows for
"merged bundles":

Something similar *could* work for Pd

I think it's nicer to use a common extension and have the
platform/arch/floatsize specifier as a seperate component.

Yeah I guess it makes sense to have a distinct extension.
I haven't provided double precision externals yet because I think the
binary should be easily available for those unaware of compiling magic
first. And while we're at it, I guess it's time to provide them at miller's
site and puredata.info
hi,
TL;DR i'd like to suggest to use deken-specifiers as (optional) part of
external filenames, in order to allow co-installability of externals of
different OSs, architectures and floatsizes (and more to come).
i would really love to push the double precision saga towards a (happy) end.
