Me, when I shout a thte computer, it's more likely to be "where the *&$^%& did you put the file I just downloaded?" or "why the $%*& did you just do that" as opposed to "why did you just ask me to confirm this operation that will put files on my disk". But I know my own tastes aren't shared by all users...
While we are shouting, it seems people (including you) are annoyed about "~/pd-externals" all up in their home directory. I wonder if it would make sense to deprecate that in favour of standard config paths on all platforms?
Blender does this well already and follows existing desktop standards. I think it would be a good model to copy:
Linux = $HOME/.config/blender/2.77/
Mac OSX = /Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Blender/2.77/
MS-Windows = C:\Documents and Settings$USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.77\

For Pd you probably wouldn't need the version number thing. Or maybe you would?
Once again I am sorry that this is an email and not a pull-request!
Cheers,
Chris.
