Looking very good!  I consider this something everyone should install now.  The progress bar is a good enhancement.  I wonder if it could somehow fit in to the GUI elements better somehow.  Its fine how it is, but it seems a little out of place.

Looks like there are some debug messages still in it, I get these when hovering:

filename is 5.reference/all_about_arrays.pd
basedir is /Applications/Pd-0.43.3-extended-20121008.app/Contents/Resources/doc
filename is 5.reference/loop~-help.pd
basedir is /Applications/Pd-0.43.3-extended-20121008.app/Contents/Resources/doc
filename is 5.reference/all_about_arrays.pd
filelist is 7751
filelist is 7751
