Before, on Mac OS X at least, it defaulted to "/". I've changed that

why not do what a lot of other apps do and persistently store the last-used-directory somewhere in the config, so that next time I open Pd, Open is pointing to the same place as the last time I closed it?

-- while we're talking about open and save, is it possible to have different default directories for [openpanel] vs for File->Open? (and for [savepanel] vs File->Save, come to think of it
