I think this is a good idea, it should be simple enough to tell
pd-l2Ork to look for that file on the first load (and thus before it
will create the hidden folder for the first time), so old users can
have that file being copied to the new location. <br>

I don't hide my bin indeed, but think of this: if every program I
have installed on my computer would decide to create a visible
folder on my home, that place would be a mess (I don't even have to
imagine that, I can simply hit Ctrl+H and see how many things are
there!). It would be a mess to quickly find the folders that I use
all the time, such as Music, Document, etc., compared to folders
that I used once or twice in a lifetime, such as ~/.mozilla,
~/.gimp-2.8, etc.. I remember how polluted was My Documents folder
when I was using Windows, since a lot of programs were doing exactly
what you proposes - and I really don't look forward in having my
system like that once again!<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">One might discuss, though, whether it's
necessary that pd-l2ork always creates that folder on startup
if it doesn't exist. AFAICT, other Pd flavors don't do this. <br>

<br>
That would be a more immediate solution, although I still think the
a hidden folder is the best way to go. Lastly, I can confirm nor
pd-extended nor vanilla pd do this.<br>

Best,<br>
