I am not sure if I agree with your (frank's) point. wouldn't it be easier keep your pd searchpaths clean of non-pd related lua scripts than to put a fancy file extension on every script?
Not really: As soon as you start distributing things, you'd have to bundle your helper modules anway and explain everyone to not put them in their Pd paths. This would be even worse for Pd-extended: Where should the non-pdlua Lua files go? How to add and manage Lua search paths? It's a can of worms.
anyway, I think 3 letters of file extension should be enough, *.pdl is shorter.
You need to use bittorrent more often. ;)
or add an obligatory description statement somewhere in the first lines of the script so that pdlua recognizes it as a pd loadable lua script.
See my other mail why I don't think this is a good solution. And actually it's already in effect: When a Lua file doesn't register itself with Pd, it's not loaded. But Pd still tries to do so, which is one thing I'm trying to avoid.
