Hello,

 sorry for that but it is not clear to me...

I'm using deken for installing externals but encountering issues with help browser when I enable those externals with preference window, it's actually in another thread.

 If I understand, I shouldn't add those deken externals in path preferences, but add a [delare -path ~/pd-externals/my_deken_external] object to all the main patches that uses externals installed into ~/pd-externals, and then path preferences is about externals installed elsewhere.

By this way the console doesn't complain anymore about duplicates when I open help browser without hacking tcl code,

but I'm a bit lost lost now about how to proceed with all my old patches...

Now that Pd vanilla + deken is the preferred way to have a
Pd-Extended-like experience I was just wondering if there are any best
practices or preferred way for loading objects from externals.

Should we reference the external i.e. [mrpeach/binfile] or just load
it in our startup path and use [binfile]. The former has the advantage
of giving a hint to what externals are needed but results in long
objects.

Any suggestions?

*my* suggsetion is to use [declare]
