does any of this worry you?

ah: so i take it, that the UNHANDLED ERROR appears when loading the plugin (and you merely posted the above lines to give context on when the error happens)?

yes, it does so on startup of PD, not on opening the deken window

SO you don't get all the nifty features but instead are left with the old rusty find externals?

as a matter of fact, i DO get the new "search for ..." options when i open the "find externals" window (despite of the startup error), but deken now doesn't find ANYTHING.

so no matter if i type "zexy" or "demux" or "shell" i get no result whatsoever.

only removing the deken-plugin and restarting PD reverts back to old working deken

best

YES ! thanks a lot !

hooray.

if you notice anything weird or unusual or unexpected, now it the time for feature requests ;-) (i'll probably not be able to implement any of them, but you never know...)

I see we have a rather modest note that the library was fully and successfully installed. This easily goes away if you move your mouse over selectable libraries.

deken already prints to the terminal when it can't find externals, I assume it does this in other cases as well. Why not print the successful installation notice on the terminal as well?

good point.

of course i forgot: please add those feature requests to deken's issue tracker: https://github.com/pure-data/deken/issues

it makes my life much easier.
