Summary: Mac OS X: Path dialog won't save entries that are inside app

Initial Comment:
When I try to enter a new path using the new dialog on osx the post window displays this:

error: s/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pddp: no such object

On hitting apply and ok, then restarting Pd, then opening the Path dialog again, it reveals that the path hasn't saved.

The only way i can do this is to enter the path via Startup dialog and entering a -path path/to/folder

this is on 0.40.3 extended rc3 OS X 10.4.11

Message:
something like 'pddp' is a library, so you can add it to the Startup if you
want it to load.  I personally think its not a bad thing that you cannot
add paths that are inside the Pd.app.  You can use [declare] or [import]
and save that setting in the patch where it is needed.

If someone else wants to change this, I suppose that would be ok.

This only seems to affect paths that are inside of the the
Pd-extended.app.  If you want to add a library, you are best off using
[declare] or [import] in the patch or for adding paths, using [declare].
