I'm confused. You wrote above sentence. Don't know what you meant.
haha, I'm even arguing to myself then! It's that on the deken issue you were complaining about not being able to write to the user folder... I was trying to say that was a linux issue only.
Deken should not ask you to download there, if it can't write there. If it still does, it might be a bug.
it's just a last ditch effort, it's gotta ask you to download somewhere...
That's why they have their user specific folder.
Well, they don't for Pd... at least for now...
Anyway, at least don't teach that to anybody, even if you believe it works well for you.
It has a particularity... it makes a difference wether you install in the global, user or application. In the case of an application, it'll only be valid for that Pd app, so you can have multiple Pds or Pd- Extended along side it. So, well, yeah, I think we should tell people that they can do it if they want to...
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. It's not advised to change the default permissions of protected system-wide folders. There's nothing wrong with hand-crafting your Pd.app to suite your specific needs.
