@umlaeute I have some thoughts regarding the default PDLIBDIR path configuration:
Windows
Currently, pd-lib-builder uses %APPDATA%/Roaming/Pd as the default path. However, this is a hidden folder on Windows, making it somewhat inconvenient to access (personal opinion). I believe it would be more intuitive to use %HOME%/Documents/Pd/externals, which is the default path for PureData. What do you think?
Linux
For Linux, I suggest using /home/Documents/Pd/externals. In pd-lib-builder, the default path is /usr/local/lib/pd-externals, which requires sudo permissions to install. Using the home directory would simplify the installation process.
Mac
For macOS, I would also recommend placing it in the Documents folder. However, I need access to an Apple machine to verify this configuration.
