[PD] thoughts on the new deken (was Re: [PD-announce] pd version 0.48-2 test1 released)

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

Hi, now that pd 0.48-2 is about to come out with the new deken, I'm
checking it out and giving it a deeper look. I wasn't really using it
before. So, I have a few questions and considerastions.

1- There's a default change, now it doesn't prompt you no more if you want
to add externals to the path. I get it this is more than intentional and
would like to inquire why. Thinking in the mind set of a newbie and
newcomer, this might be handy to suggest. Advanced users who are annoyed
can edit it in the preferences. Anyway, that's just my two pennies on it.

2- The preferences tab seems overcomplicated and I can't understand a few
aspects of it. There is a "check" box which I don't know what it is
supposed to check, and that I cannot actually click on it and activate the
checking. Also, when asking "Install externals to directory:" I can select
the same directory (/Users/porres/Documents/Pd/externals, in my case) in
four different places, and I don't know why can't it be just one.

cheers
