hi,
i have some questions about the Preferences (i'm on Windows 10, Pd-0.48.1).
after changing the 'Externals Install Directory' in the Preferences (EID for short) plugins are still loaded from the standard AppData/../Pd folder.
is that a bug?
when i save the preferences to a file, the EID is not included in this 'my.pdsettings'.
furthermore, this 'my.pdsettings' gets applied to every Pd-instance i have on my system.
so, the settings are still per-machine?

depends on your pov.
the "Externals *Install* Directory" is an output directory (where to store download externals) rather an input directory (where to search for externals). you do have a list of search-directories on the top of that very searchpath-preferences window you are currently interacting with...
