nope, I downloaded as it is.

So, if I just put in "extra", I get no message, no change in behaviour,
and, like I said, my pd has a pd_deken.tcl file in a tcl folder outside the
extra folder, that's the one that needs to be replaced, so it seems...

So, I just repeated myself, so what does it mean? I'm trying to say that
this file that is there still counts... how do I know? If I delete it, I
get a tcl error saying the file couldn't be found... even if I have that
other one in the extra folder, like you suggested.

Now, if I replace the tcl file I have for the new renamed downloaded file,
like I also said, nothing new happens, it doesn't offer me to install in
the non existing ~Library/Pd folder.

that's all I really have to say :/

cheers
