hi, dear everyone !

this is probably a minority problem, but i want to report it nonetheless.

i'm on windows 7 / 64 bit PD 0.48.0 (zipped version !)

I ALWAYS use the zipped version of PD to keep it portable, using batch scripts with "-noprefs", defining all necessary infos at as startup options in the script (where i always use the paths relative to the pd folder) so i'm always having my up-to-date pd version and patches on a usb stick wherever i go.

(IMHO one of THE killer features of PD ;-))

i just noticed, that if i omit the "documents" path definition when starting up PD, deken is not working anymore (please see attached image), as it doesn't have a folder to download to. of course all is well as soon as i am defining it but somehow that goes against portability. (i never use my user home location for those reasons, and the preferences are not stored inside the PD folder)

so my suggestion is, that there should be either a startup flag to set the "documents" directory in a shell script (or batch file), so deken will find it, or to default it to PD's "extra" folder if none is set. or is the flag "stdpath" already doing this ?

as i said, i don't know how many people are affected by this small problem, it's probably only me who uses PD that way, so i'm not sure if this is any reason to file a bug report ...

best
