hi (hans), would it be possible to have an enclosing folder for the pd app and take all externals, help files, tutorials and manuals inside that folder, but not in the pd-application itself. in that case osx finder would be able to search for stuff without first selecting the app manually and click show contents before I can search for something. I am still struggling with the problem, that every time I am missing an object I have to figure out in which folder it is (in which library), to be able to rename it... marius.
