First, good new year and thanks for 052.1 !
... In previous version I got a file dialog and then I could store it e.g. in my "libs" folder within my project, which I also advised to my students sharing my projects, since they operate on different OS... and this is an easy task for most users.
Now I get an error (see below) [1].
Since I do not want to make an Pd folder, since I work on many different (studio) computers and do not want to pollute the home directory with any Application folder like "Pd" [2] on every account ...
So is this behavior intentional or an error ... so I will do an issue report.
If intentional add an option to save the external into an chosen folder, since this is really important for distribution of Pd applications.

[2] Also I do not like the recent behaviour to be forced to choose default folders for externals installation, since also on headless computers when setup automatically, it cannot answer an file dialog on first startup, I do not know who had this idea or missed the discussion, to ask for one on first start of Pd and not as an option to add it later...

please do open a bugreport for this (either on https://bugs.puredata.info, or - preferably - on https://github.com/pure-data/deken/issues), that explains in detail what you are doing (ideally with a step-by-step guide)

even though there hasn't been an issue report as of now, i took miller's idea and implemented a fix (skip the plugin if Pd-GUI is started by Pd, rather than the other way round) in current `develop`
