Thanx for the people involved in the dev of this plugin. It is cool to have such a plugin to manage externals.
A few remark on my configuration (Ubuntu 17.10, Pd version 0.48.1) : - When I click the button "Preferences", the preferences window is to large to be handle by my monitor so i can't see the last lines. I need to move the window by pressing the window key. - If the mouse cursor goes over results, the preferences button disappears. I need to make the window bigger to see the button again. ++ Jack Le 08/03/2018 à 17:09, IOhannes m zmoelnig a écrit : > we are proud to announce a major overhaul of the deken fileformat. > > TL;DR to download new deken packages, you will need at least version > v0.3.0 of the deken-plugin (Pd-0.48-1 includes deken-v0.2.4). > When searching externals with an old (incompatible) version of the > plugin, you will always find a suggestion to install the new plugin with > something like: > >> deken-plugin/0.3.0 >> (Deken externals downloader - REQUIRED FOR NEW PACKAGES) > > once you have installed the new version (and/or Pd includes a compatible > version), the nagging will stop :-) > > > # fileformat > > the new fileformat fixes a number of issues we had with the existing one. > things that are better: > - cool filename extension '.dek' > - consistent archival options for all platforms (ZIP!) > - proper detection of the version string for all libraries (even if the > library has a weird name like "a-v12" > - support for double-precision externals (once Pd supports that!) > - extensible > > > # Pd-integration > the updated "deken-plugin" has a number of nifty features, you don't > want to miss: > - support for the new fileformat > - support for the old (legacy) fileformat > - (optionally) uninstall libraries before re-installing them > - (optionally) show a README that is included in the package on > successful installation > - set installation path (suggesting Pd's default search paths, and > offering to create those that are missing) > - (optionally) hides the search-results for incompatible platforms > - (optionally) overrides the "compatible" Pd-architecture > - nice preferences > - bugfixes > - much more > > > # Developer tools > if you are a developer of libraries, we have also updated our 'deken' > cmdline tool. > things you always wanted to have and which are now free: > - support for the new fileformat (default) > - support for the old (legacy) fileformat > - better detection of binary architectures > - better detection of included sources > - (experimental) support for double-precision externals > - pre-compiled & self-contained Windows binaries > - bugfixes > - much more > > > if you want to know more, see > - http://puredata.info/downloads/deken/releases/0.3.0/ > - https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2018-02/021513.html > - https://github.com/pure-data/deken/issues/161 > > > i have submitted also submitted a Pull-Request to include the new > deken-plugin into Pd proper: > - https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/320 > > and another Pull-Request for Pd that is required to make the > double-precision detection work: > - https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/300 > > > happy patching. > fgm,asdr > IOhannes > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pd-announce mailing list > pd-annou...@lists.iem.at > https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
