Well, another way migth be to have Pd only query the first time in a Pd session and then proceed automatically. I'll try that out - but since I'll probably introduce a bug or two I'd just as soon wait till after the 0.27-0 release.
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...

hmm, so: for your people at UCSD you would like to have externals installed into ~/pd/extra and ~/pd-0.46-4/extra and ~/pd-0.22/extra depending on which version of Pd you are running. for yourself, you would like to have externals NOT be installed into ~/pd/extra.
since these two behaviours are contradictory and cannot be resolved automatically, the only option is to ask the user every single time they are going to install a library via deken, at the potential cost ofthem shouting "but i told you this directory already three times this morning" at their computers.
