0.49.1 is what Pd shows. I compiled it myself, so maybe I'm using a
version where the most recent changes affect only macOS.

I try to make myself more clear: [bang ( opens  what I called `Pd's
Home`. In order to use relative paths you send it [symbol .( and this
path is what I called Pd's start location. Relative paths work only
relative to what [symbol .( shows, NOT to what [bang( shows.

It's not a bug, unless you say, that paths are not even working
relative to  what [symbol .( shows. You haven't said that yet. You only
said, that it is not working relative to what [bang ( shows.
