hi list,

in Preferences: installation folder externals: D:/PD/externals

loading externals with Deken this folder is used indeed.

using the externals in a patch works.

however the Help/Browser function does not show these externals,

it should show an "externals" entry, that contains the externals in that folder (rather than in the root column of the help-browser).

at least, that's what i see on Linux, and i haven't spotted any platform-specific code so far, that would allow for different behaviour on windows.
