so in my case: user$ /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd - rt -noaudio /Users/user/Desktop/patch.pd

opening the patch.what's wrong?
...well, the pd.app's actually have two binaries named "pd": the one
you are addressing is actually just a re-named wish shell...when you
double click the application it calls this renamed wish shell, which
then loads the AppMain.tcl script (which is just a link to the pd.tk)
and eventually starts pd: main take-home point here is that there's
no argument passing in this chain...
...however, the actual pd binary's path is: /Applications/Pd-0.38.4- extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd
...so, the following should help (never use "-rt" on osx!):
/Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd - nrt -noaudio -open /Users/user/Desktop/patch.pd
