I believe yet all have agreed to ~/.local/lib/pd/extra as the default install path (and most recent Deken uses it).

There was some concerns about creating directories without asking. Now, do those concerns still apply with above default install path? It seems pretty normal that applications do stuff there. Is anyone still against auto-creating?
it seems indeed that the main obstacle for automatic directory creation has gone with this new default user-specific search path. if there is some consensus, i will happily re-enable the directory creation. (but it seems that everybody has gone into sleep mode again, and will only awake after the next release)
OK, time to wake up, release is out! ;-)
Seriously, current implementation doesn't give a hint for a good choice of install directory (it suggests ~/ if there is no ~/.local/lib/pd/extra) . Even if the user-specific search directory is not auto-created, at least the plugin should give a hint of what is a sensible choice.
