Deken initially did this, but there are problems with this approach as it partially negates the usage of [declare]. It is *highly* recommended to use [declare] moving forward.

Do you use the Pd Documents directory? If so, the Documents/Pd/externals directory is part of the path so externals there can be loaded via declare, ie. something like Documents/Pd/externals/cyclone & [declare -path cyclone]. This was a compromise, in the end.

Subject: [PD] Automatically add deken packages to path ?

Hi,

whenever installing a package with deken, I still have to add the path
manually for the extensions to be found. 

The base path is present, but the package paths are not.

Is this the expected behaviour ? If not, is there a setting 
so that the installed packages are found automatically ?

Best,
Niklas
