I don't have a problem with a "fixed directory" (and I think good defaults in general are better than making a user specify or configure everything from scratch) but I always thought the path should be ~/.config/pd-externals or ~/.local/pd-externals - something out of the way rather than clogging up the user's home directory.
My thinking, exactly.
I'm sure we'll update deken to support whatever the new method of externals resolution becomes.
Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding: deken does not know anything about pd's paths. Instead it asks pd for a list of "default" paths at startup and uses the first writeable one.
If pd ever changes its default user-installed search path, deken will automatically pick the new one(s)
