Just to chime in about unzipping-in-Windows aspect, from what I can tell that would smoothen the Deken experience for Windows users _a lot_.
well, test it https://github.com/pure-data/deken/tree/w32-unzip
how to test?
ok, so here it goes:
download the deken-plugin from the link above or directly from https://github.com/pure-data/deken/blob/w32-unzip/deken-plugin.tcl
follow the instructions on the page to install the plugin:
and save it to your Pd folder:
Linux = ~/pd-externals/deken-plugin/ OSX = ~/Library/Pd/deken-plugin/ Windows = %AppData%\Pd\deken-plugin\
(re)start Pd
go to "Help -> Find externals" (the dekenexploder should be slightly different than the one shipped
with Pd: e.g. it has the "Set install dir" button in the lower right corner)
search for an arbitrary external, e.g. "comport"
click on a result that is a zip-file (e.g.
"comport-v0.0extended-(Windows-i386-32)-externals.zip")
- deken should download and unzip that file (without firing up th
W32-explorer and asking you to manually unzip the file)
probably it is best to try this with a (smallish) external you haven't installed yet e.g. "arraysize".
it's possible to download deken-W32-unzip.zip, but to me it's not clear what to do next. two things i tried: with the unzipped folder as it is at the location where deken-plugin used to be, and rename the folder to deken.
no automatic unzipping.
i guess the crucial part is to make sure that the updated deken-plugin is indeed used. one hint is the "set install dir" button mentioned above. another one can be viewed by setting the verbosity of the Pd-console to "all". it then should contain something like:
Loading plugin: .../deken-plugin.tcl [deken]: installed version [0.1] < 0.2.0...overwriting! deken-plugin.tcl (Pd externals search) in ... loaded.
i hope this helps.
