While I don't really have any feelings about this external directory, it would be nice to have a different properties file from what Vanilla Pd uses, this way we can have two different setups, and they won't interfere with each other. Currently, I have one properties file that both versions of Pd appear to be trying to load, but because the properties file was built for Pd-extended, loading Vanilla Pd generates errors for everything that it tries to load, as it can't find those things.

With this release of Pd-extended, all platforms have default
locations for user-installed externals, helpfiles, etc. I just had a
thought, perhaps ~/.pd would be a better directory than ~/pd. Any
thoughts on that?

Here's how it is now:

GNU/Linux: /usr/share/pd and ~/pd
Mac OS X: /Library/Pd and ~/Library/Pd
Windows: %ProgramFiles%/Common Files/Pd and %UserProfile%/
Application Data/Pd
