No, you just need to put it into a search path of Pd. If your goal is to test whether the most recent change works (creation of the user specific folder), then you obviously can't use that, you may put it into the application specific folder (don't know the exact path for Mac, something like /Applications/Pd.app/[...]/extra).
Download this file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pure-data/deken/master/deken-plug in.tcl
Save it to extra, make sure it has the name deken-plugin.tcl.
that didn't woirk, my pd has a pd_deken.tcl file in a tcl folder outside the extra folder, that's the one that needs to be replaced, so it seems...
I'm really trying to be very specific in my instructions. Please follow them as closely as possible.
I said: put it into 'extra/' and name it deken-plugin.tcl. I didn't say "overwrite the internal one, which is called pd_deken.tcl and lives in tcl/". Both can co-exist just fine. The one in extra/ has precedence over the included one.
but if I replace it by the renamed file from the link you're pointing me, well, I get no new behaviour.
Follow my instructions.
and what do you mean I "obviously can't use that"? I can't test the creation of the user specific folder? Then it's pointless :/
Of course you can test that. I'm trying to say that you obviously can't put the deken-plugin.tcl file into $HOME/Library/Pd (which would normally be a sensible location), because you want to test if the new deken-plugin.tcl creates that folder, so I assume it doesn't exist at the beginning of your test. Maybe I was indeed not very clear. Sorry.
