[PD-dev] Issue with PD 0.48.0test6

[Dan Wilcox]

This also brings up the fact that, currently, the root help browser column is sorted alphabetically, so non-standard names end up above the "---- Libraries ----" divider. Not-sorting fixes that where the extra/ subduers are always first and followed by user dirs, at the expense of not being alphabetical. Probably
not a big deal.

It would also be possible to have a second divider for user search paths and/or move the extra stuff above the first divider, thereby grouping the "built in" stuff separate from the user supplied stuff. Just a thought.

And when I open PD again, the preferences seems to be saved, but the path is not available in the browser. As said I am still pretty new to PD, and this is how I did it in 0.47 version and it worked there
