[PD] .pdrc / error parsing rc arguments

[vade]

Out of curiosity, it was mentioned about OS X not using .pdrc anymore 
(or at least it being depreciated)?

is this true?

what is "osX the application-setting-system (or however it is called)?" 
?

.38-2.app seems to be working just fine with a ~/.pdrc fwiw, and I cant 
seem to find any other mechanism for pd prefs?

someone care to enlighten me?
