I finally found the solution to this annoying problem. you have to rebuild the launch service database (see http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486 ) I ran the following command, and that fixed it.
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

This is a bug I run into a lot. Basically, if you have a lot of versions of Pd, it confused the assocations system. Try removing random ones. I have found that I have to clean out the associations system from time to time because I am always trying many different versions.
I forgot how to do it now... I think it's done by deleting some file in /Library/Caches and rebooting.

yes, that should do it, but not here. when I select Pd-extended it immediately get reset. there must be some hidden mechanism that always choses the newer version or a file where that is stored... I have no clue what I have to search for to get this fixed. marius.

Hi Marius
This worked for me:
In Finder, Get Info on any Pd file, Open With -> choose your version -> Change All...
Hope this helps

Hi, I have two versions of pd-extended on my mac: pd-extended (0.39) and pd-0.40.3-extended. I want all pd files to be opened with 0.39 by default. Instead os x tries to open all Pd files with a version (0.40.3) which I deleted some time ago. oh, how I hate stupid MACOS X! anyway, how can I change that. I tried to use applications like xray, but whenever I change the settings to the older version it gets overwritten by that fascist OS that thinks it is cleverer than me. marius.
