In tracking down a bug, I noticed the GUI prefs for macOS are now in the org.puredata.plist defaults domain. I think this should be renamed to org.puredata.pd-gui.plist which reflects it's true function and not as some sort of meta prefs file. This matches the naming used in extended.

Actually, pd-extended uses org.puredata.pdextended.pd-gui.plist which works just as well. For vanilla, we could use the following:
* org.puredata.pd.plist (app preferences) * org.puredata.pd.gui.plist (gui preferences)
I think this more property reflects the hierarchy between the processes.

i totally agree (and i wouldn't mind switching to info.puredata... either :-))
however, i wonder whether this is really a regression: when i rewrote the guiprefs system i tried to stay as close to the original values, and i haven't seen any mention of "pd-gui" for the plist domain anywhere. that's the main reason why i haven't changed it for OSX (for the other platforms, Pd *is* using the org.puredata.pd.pd-gui domain already).
