install foreign architectures / older versions #286

Closed porres closed 1 year ago

porres commented 1 year ago

I guess I mentioned this before somewhere and didn't follow through.

Unless something crazy is happening, I believe deken has been quite simlpified to not allow anymore for us to download foreign architectures / older versions.

On a fresh install of Pd 0.53-1 (mojave 10.14.6) I can only find packages for my mac and only the latest version. This usually doesn't bother me, but...

Maybe there's a way, but anyway, here's a screenshot, what am I missing?

Deken preferences -> untick the "Only show the newest version if a library" item (and/or the "Hide foreign architectures" item) at the bottom.

I don't see "Deken preferences", where is it?

I have to give you some screenshots again... either something funny is happening, or I cannot find it anywhere and you're gonna have to give me detailed baby steps to find this.

Thanks for the screenshots

I canot find this entry menu/preferences entry anywhere

If you open the deken-window, there is a different menu, that only contains two top-level entries.

(Your screenshot omits the menu-bar for the case, where the deken-window has focus)

sorry but at this point I think I need a video or something...

wait wait wait...

and when I was about to ask you again I finally see it, by pure accident, and understand what you mean now by "Your screenshot omits the menu-bar for the case, where the deken-window has focus" :)

I guess we really need to put this in the manual :) or put 'preferences'/'install file' in the main window (but now that I know where this lives I also like that the main window is quite clean).

Now....... hmmmm.... I tried unchecking 'hide foreign architectures but I can see them. I'm only getting 'macOS' for 'dnd-plugin', but deken site shows me there's more options...
