the open dialog's path starts from wherever pd was launched, and if you are launching pd from a menu item, then it starts from where the desktop manager was launched etc etc..
you can test this out by launching pd from a console, starting at the folder you desire. if you need this to always be the case create a wrapper shell script for pd which changes directory (cd /path/) previous to launching, or simply create an alias to pd in your .bashrc :
alias pd='cd /usr/lib/pd ; pd ; cd $OLD_PWD'

Hi,
how can I convince pd-extended to start the fileselector box in a specific directory which is not my $HOME ? (I am using pd-extended on Linux).
Thank you very much in advance for your help! Best regards, mcc
