Come to think of it, wouldn't it be useful if Pd just *always* checked for extensions in the user's home folder? ~/.pd-extra, for instance.
i don't know the benefits of such additional auto-searched folder. i am working with different pd-versions on different platforms (and architectures!) ((oops i did it again)), and your proposal adds more trouble for me...(of course i wouldn't have to use it)
nevertheless you can already do with pd what you are suggesting: just add ~/.pd-extra to your search-path in ~/.pdsettings (or ~/.pdrc);
each pd (regardless where it actually lives) will read pd-configuration file in your hoem-directory and add your path.
