Hi,
In TK on OSX, the "-initialdir" setting to the open and save panels is broken. You can search in u_main.tk and bin/pd.tk and patch these by replacing the two remaining such lines:
-initialdir $help_directory]
by: ]
and:
set filename [tk_getSaveFile -initialfile $initfile -initialdir $initdir \
by:
set filename [tk_getSaveFile -initialfile $initfile \
(i'll do this in my copy too but I'm not going to get it turned around real fast.. Anyway, I think TK will fix this real soon and we can go back to the "right" version.)
cheers Miller

Just some feedback on the osx version for whoever's interested.
Yes latency is big, and there are some problems with keystrokes (backspace)
- sometimes I cannot use the keyboard at all (even ctrl-O/W/X/V etc) -
doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason to this - sometimes takes a couple of restarts. Sometimes opening a patch will 'break' the keyboard input.
Loading some properties patches will crash pd sometimes - but it's not reliable.. Ie happens 'sometimes' and not others
As with clicking in the window in locked or ctrl-clicking in edit mode - it seems to work on messages and atoms sometimes and not others - is this some thing to do with the latency? (happens with dsp on & off)
The biggest problem for me at the moment is that saving doesn't seem to work.
I can save an opened .pd patch - say I'm looking at and edit acoustics~.pd
So ctrl-s = saved to: /Users/myhome/Documents/pd/doc/5.reference/acoustics~.pd
But save as.. From the file menu =
HandleInitialDir bad directory "/Users/myhome/Documents/pd/doc/5.reference"
Likewise save or crtl-s or save as.. For any new document give the same response
HandleInitialDir bad directory "/Users/myhome"
Not that I'm complaining mind you .. It is very cool to have it running at all. :)
