** [patches:#566] allow additional deken-plugin to override built-in**

**Status:** open **Group:** bugfix **Labels:** pd-gui deken **Created:** Wed Nov 04, 2015 12:42 PM UTC by IOhannes m zmölnig **Last Updated:** Wed Nov 04, 2015 12:42 PM UTC **Owner:** Miller Puckette **Attachments:**

currently, Pd will first load all gui-plugins, and after that it will load the built-in deken. this is inconsistent with other handling of extensions (e.g. externals will be loaded *after* built-in objectclasses have registered).

it also prevents a manually installed deken-plugin to overwrite/extend the built-in one (at least without going through hoops, like renaming all the symbols).

the attached patch makes sure that the built-in plugin is called before loading any additional plugins. it also defines a version number in `::deken::version` which (newer versions of) the deken-plugin can check (e.g. and refuse being loaded with a 'a newer version of deken is already available' error)
