Second report:
- I don't know what "disabling" the Pd Documents folder is supposed to do,
but I just get an error

Ok, first bug report:
- if I choose a different *Externals install Directory* other than the
"externals" subfolder (say "libs" for example) and hit ok, it still creates an "externals" subdirectory and adds it to the search path, whereas "libs" is not added! Though deken still asks me to download to "libs". As I see, it shouldn't create "externals" nor add it to the path, and then add "libs" to the path.

Cool, I still don't see the added folder in the help browser, but that's because of another issue that's being solved in parallel, right?

A macOS test build with the docspath (Pd Documents directory) is available, look for Pd-0.48.0-test6-docspath.app.zip: http://docs.danomatika.com/pdbuilds/

Here is my *working* proposal for beginner-friendliness: the Pd Documents directory. Also includes deken-workingness.
Thanks to Miller for the new "add-to-path" message.
Video demo: https://youtu.be/YWMnynyIeoc
The documents path is an optional beginner-friendly location for patches and externals and defaults to USERHOME/Documents/Pd. If the docs path is not set when Pd is started, the user is prompted about creating it and it can be changed or disabled in the Path preferences dialog. If the user hits Cancel, the docs path functionality is disabled. A subdirectory for externals is also created and is set as the deken install directory. Once set, the docs path becomes the preferred initial directory for file dialogs to help those new to filesystem hierarchy.
Included in this work: deken can now optionally add external directories to the user search paths via a popup after download.
