Aliases are needed one way or another, cause you can only browse to a
folder, when you're adding a path to Pd's preferences...
This is not an issue in windows (not sure about linux...)
and I think is easier to hit a shortcut that goes to ~/Library ;) (command
+ shift + go)

Apologies IOhannes, I was a little hasty with my celebrations.
After installing the pd-deken packages I still get this from Pd when
attempting to install a lib:
"No writeable directory found in:

Hi
Is it possible to manipulate a single pixel of a an image loaded by
[pix_image]? Specifically, I'd like to change the alpha value of
certain pixels. It doesn't matter to me whether the manipulation

if deken isn't going to automate this on osx maybe just simple copy and

won't offer it, and maybe that could happen
Oups sorry:

Hi Roman,
Yeah, I'd spotted the
~/.local/lib/pd/extra
as being canonical from an earlier thread but as 1. I didn't already have

regardless - ouch(blush).

Brighten up a common annoying typo by adding this
to your .bashrc
apt-vache() { apt-cache $@ | cowsay; }
$ apt-vache search xclock
