yup, on the same computer, it happens on mojave but not on monterey... on another older computer it loads on mojave.
  
what would "not be an issue"?

this whole problem of not being able to load this particular plugin with the newer structure.
 
with Pd-0.54 the ".popup" will not be created any more at all, so if
your code depends on such an item, it will fail.

sure, it would need to be adapted, just like the PR to add an object browser to Vanilla has been adapted. For reference, see https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1917
 
otoh, Pd-0.54 will replace the ".popup" with a window-specific
"${win}.popup". this window-specific item will not be created until the
window is created, so if your code depends on such an item to exist at
startup time, it is likely to fail as well.

The only usage of 'popup' in #1917 is in the bottom with "trace add execution ::pdtk_canvas::create_popup leave category_menu::create"

And I just tested loading this file against the current master. No issue loading the plugin. So I am suspecting that this new structure and strategy solves the issue, right? Please confirm.

ideally https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1766 would be
applied, in which case you just have to put an "else-plugin.tcl" into
your "else" folder and it will be loaded automatically.

That will be indeed great, sure, but in the meantime I'll change the way to load this thing and wait for 0.54-0 to update the library to load this plugin without any issues and in a more convenient way.

Thanks
