Nevermind. There's an externals folder in the Help Browser! I got used to seeing them all listed separately. I like this behavior. Hope my confusion and realization helps someone else who comes looking.

Hi, list.

Problem: I can download externals with deken and load them in Pd, but they don't show up in the Help Browser even after restarting Pd.

Context: I installed 64-bit Pd from source with jack support on Pop!_OS 21.10, 64-bit running GNOME 40.4.0. I compiled it with autotools and my only tweak was adding jack support. Path is set to look in ~/Documents/Pd/externals as my Externals Install Directory.

Everything works including jack except for showing help patches for external libraries in the help browser. I can open them with the file menu, of course. Any ideas about how to fix this?
