Hey all
I'm all excited about deken. Both, downloading/installing and building/uploading was really easy and worked well for me.
-- Issue #1 --
When I download a package that wants to extract to a folder that already exists, the plugin hangs and with it whole Pd.
Scenario to trigger this situation: * Menu > Help > Find externals * search zexy * pick wrong architecture * restart Pd (zexy won't load) * open 'find externals' again, search for zexy * pick correct architecture
Pd hangs now.
-- Request #1 --
When searching for zexy, I get listed all available architectures. As a not so tech-savvy user I have difficulties picking the correct one. Since deken knows my arch, wouldn't it be possible to show only my arch (or high-light the one that is 'good' for me)?
-- Request #2 --
I'd like to try someone else's patch and load it in Pd. When loading, Pd prints the error:
symbol2list / error: ... couldn't create
Ok, I fire up 'Find externals' and search for 'symbol2list' and I get no result.
In my imagined best case scenario, deken would index (could be manually created by the developer/uploader) objects that come with a certain library and users could search by object names and find matching packages.
--
Probably I'm asking stuff that is already in the pipeline anyway. Is this the right place to follow its development?

Yes, I can confirm this with Linux x86-64. The unpacker might wait for a confirmation to overwrite at some unseen level?

Thanks! Have filed this bug here:
https://github.com/pure-data/deken/issues/44

This is exactly what it should be doing already. Can you post a bug report with a screen shot if it's not doing that? Maybe there is an architecture mis-match bug.

Great idea. Joe Deken had a similar idea for the ability to right-click on an "object missing" dashed box to automatically search for it.
Patches welcome! :)
Or also, file your feature request at the bug tracker.

Probably the best way right now is to click "watch" here: https://github.com/pure-data/deken
Cheers,

my todo list includes a check-box that allows you to enable the listing of non-matching architectures (and disables them by default).

It _is_ already working as desired. It was bad luck (and inadvertence on my part), since I only got results that either had only non-matching (zexy) or only the matching (my first test with iemnet) architecture. So I didn't notice that there is actually a high-lighting mechanism going on.
