hi,
i have some questions about the Preferences (i'm on Windows 10, Pd-0.48.1).
after changing the 'Externals Install Directory' in the Preferences (EID for short) plugins are still loaded from the standard AppData/../Pd folder.
is that a bug?
depends on your pov.
the "Externals *Install* Directory" is an output directory (where to store download externals) rather an input directory (where to search for externals). you do have a list of search-directories on the top of that very searchpath-preferences window you are currently interacting with...

thanks for the clarification. still, the searchpath-preferences are apparently different for externals and for plugins. for the plugins the standard folder is used anyway and also first.
BTW is there a way to declare a .pdsettings in the command-line? (i cannot find one).
