Yeah, I thought of this last week while debugging but I forgot about it. Fixed with https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/135 Can y'all give it a try?

Also, your current recent files stored in the gui defaults might be corrupted with the older bug that didn't quote things correctly.

You can flush them either with the Clear Files menu entry or from the command line on macOS:

defaults write org.puredata.pd.pd-gui write NSRecentDocuments ""

You can then see what's in there with:

defaults read org.puredata.pd.pd-gui

I added the info about using defaults to the mac/README.txt a few days ago.

Hi, I always got this error when the path of the patch has changed and Pd can't find the file. The error message is rather misleading, though.
