...wow, I'm glad you have a choice, but your choice caused you problems...luckily, pd allows you to continue your c74 ingrained behavior: just don't expect us to change pd to default to that...as I said, the original location (at least for the last few years) has been ~/Library/Pd: but go ahead and do whatever you feel!
i'm not about to make anyone do anything IOhannes made a careful suggestion that, maybe, it would be a good idea to ___add Application Support to the standard search path for the os x version of Pd. which i think is a good idea - for whatever that is worth
one can argue if it was my choice of location or pd's handling of .pdrcs with a path-with-a-space that caused the problem - i'll leave that up to others to debate.
anyway, seem to be stepping on toes here, so i'll take my "c74 ingrained behaviour" offline...
