you all might be aware, but you that deken still installs it in the deprecated '~/pd-externals' path?
no, deken installs into the first available (and writeable) folder. it first checks whether there is a ~/.local/lib/pd/extra folder, and if there is it will suggest to install there. if that folder does not exist (or is not writable), it will try ~/pd-externals. and so on.
actually, it doesn't know anything about ~/.local/lib/pd/extra or the like. it just uses the search paths of Pd. (so if you are using deken with Pd-0.45, it will not even try ~/.local/lib/pd/extra)
fun fact: it seems i already explained that recently. e.g. https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2017-02/117965.html
