Wow, what an improvement! I like it a lot. I have some comments:
panel would be narrower?
where it is a common thing. On Mac OS X, it should just be OK and
Cancel. On Windows, there should be Apply. I think GNOME has moved
away from Apply, but I don't know anything about KDE.
things clearer, I think. Like maybe Up/Down on the right side, and
then Add..., Edit..., and Delete on the bottom? Or maybe just
changing Up and Down to arrows?
entering values should be embedded into the panel instead of a
popup. Also, it doesn't seem to work for me (I am using 0.41-4
vanilla). I can't add items to the list.
I think once this is worked out, the best plan would be to submit a
patch to the tracker and assign it to Miller. Then I'll also include
it in Pd-extended.

this version of the file will only work with 0.41.4.Attached is an updated (slightly bugfixed) version.
So... what's the procedure for checking in to svn :)?

Looking really good! The browse functionality is a fair
idiom in a such GUI as oppose to entering text, i think.
Thanks! I've often been kind of frustrated that I have to type in the full directory name rather than simply browsing to it. For the keyboard-inclined, however, text entry should still be possible.
"One" comment: I have a beef with the functionality of the buttons. Not the Cancel one. The others. 'Apply' does
something. 'Ok' does 'apply' plus 'cancel'. 'Save...' does 'Apply' plus saves. But it says the list is only gonna work from next
time Pd is lunched, why i don't get the 'Apply' and 'Ok'. 'Ok'
should do save and cancel. Thats all one wants, anit?I agree. I've preserved the pre-existing functionality for those buttons from before, but do we really need both "Save" and
"Apply"? Currently, "Save" also "saves preferences" (verbose &
use standard extensions). I think that should also happen when you click "Apply", so we can do away with the "Save" button, and also make sure that the message about needing to restart PD pops up when you click "OK" or "Apply".I'm thinking about adapting this UI for the Startup
dialog - shouldn't be hard to do - except instead of choosing directories you want to enter arbitrary text.
I haven't checked your code but i suppose most "proc's" can be reused? I've set up some various key bindings so I want to make
sure it seems usable for everyone.
Nice. What are they?
Default key bindings for the listbox widget give you "up" and
"down" keys to select, I've added "Delete" to delete the current
selection, and "Return" to open the browse dialog (same as pressing "Edit").So far I've only tested this on Mac OS X OS X.4 here.
