well, just to add my experience i think i can set search paths correctly, but i would like to add that it seems to be quite difficult to have more than one instance of PD-extended 0.43 on the computer (trying mac OS 10.6.4 w/ 32bit and 64bit builds) making it a bit challenging to check one build's operation/stability against another on the same computer. <div>
<br></div><div>for example, the help browser shows all instances of installed objects on the computer, and then console complains about multiple versions of files existing. i've tried deleting the extra paths that show up to limit things, which works temporarily, but on the next startup it just reverts back to grabbing everything it can find again. it works the same in every .43 pd-extended build i've tried so far (several version of both 32 and 64 bit builds in Dec/Jan). putting things on other drives doesn't work either - it will find those paths as well.</div>

i love pd-extended-0.43 !! but i cannot add any search path in the prefferences. It will show my new settings right when i make changes but wont save anything. It prints "ripts/../extra/mapping: no such object" in the pd-window. It works in pd-extended-0.42.5 . Should there be a file where pd saves the path? Where is it?<br>
Also, when i make changes in 0.42.5, 0.43 will know about them on next startup.<br>
<br>
I use OSX10.6.7 and the latest autobuild of xi386 version of 0.43.1-extended.<br>
<br>
Maybe it is the fault of chaotic me and chaotic computer, so i deleted all old versions of pd, but that didn't help...<br>
