i think all of your suggestions (with he noteable exception of changing some default values for the available settings) are out of reach for Pd-0.52.Sure enough!
I think for now the safest "solution" would be to disable Only
show the newest version of a library by default, so there
won't be any complaints. For the next (minor) release we can think
about the best "real" solution. What do you think?
I will open a ticket about my two column search results suggestion and maybe even try a PR.
(i'm not saying that these new issues are not valid; only that there would have been plenty of time to notice them beforehand)Yes, it's certainly the worst possible time to come up with these complaints. Actually, I did test the most recent Deken release but I didn't notice the new default values because those are stored in the Windows registry.
After reading "pd_guiprefs.tcl" I learned the following trick:
exporting PD_CONFIG_DIR will force Pd to read the GUI preferences
from a file and ignore the settings in the registry. Since the
file doesn't exist (yet), it will start without any GUI
preferences. I will do that in the future whenever I test a new Pd
or Deken version.

thanks for all your inputs and mockups.
you can (as always) file *directed* tickets at
<https://github.com/pure-data/deken/issues>
(but please let's not start any *discussions* there, as they quickly get out of bounds).
in any case:

the code changes required are simply too much for the next weeks (i hope that Pd-0.52 will be released this year or very early next year).
otoh, deken-0.7 (which has all the behaviour your noticed) has been announced more than 8 months ago.
i have received feedback for the 0.7 release from various people, but i don't remember anyone raising the issues you are raising now (i'm not saying that these new issues are not valid; only that there would have been plenty of time to notice them beforehand)
cheers and happy patching.
