why not use the command line?
- open a shell
- ls /usr/lib/pd/extra/
but I think pd is located in /usr/local/lib => ls /usr/local/lib/pd/extra => ls -l for a more detailed view => ls -h for all possible parameters
- to go to /usr/local/lib/pd cd /usr/local/lib/pd
(press the tab-key once in a while to experience the joys of autocompletion)

As an old Maxer I still don't know how to look into /usr/lib/pd/extra/ (I mean without commandline) because I can't find them on my Powerbook though they must be there. Definitely something to put into a FAQ for OS X

Sad though it may be, some Mac users are unfamiliar with, and somewhat afraid of the command line.
Stefan, you can look at the folder in the finder by using the menu item "Go > Go to Folder..." (Cmd-Shift-G). Enter "/usr/local/lib/pd/extra" in the box there and you should be fine.
In view of this sort of issue, I would recommend to Hans-Christoph to adopt some of the /Library/Pd aliases I introduced in my earlier installer. Things in the /usr tree are hidden by default in MacOSX. Items in the /Library tree are visible, and seems to be the place to put things where people can mess around with the understanding that they can mess things up.
In brief, I would recommend installing the following directories: /Library/Pd/Externals (populated with the .pd_darwin externals and libraries) /Library/Pd/Help (with the corresponding help files and pddp files--so don't overwrite the official ones) /Library/Pd/Internals (an alias to /usr/local/lib/pd) This requires adding to the -path and -helppath command line/.pdrc, but it makes sense given all that you've done to make pd double-clickable. Very nice work!

On a related note: In 10.3 this option is removed in the open/save dialogs, and instead you simply begin typing the path and a sheet drops down. It took me a while to discover this.

This is a far better solution on OSX compared to /usr/ since it actually is the way the OS is designed to be used. There's also a directory called Application Support/ that is expressly for this type of thing, and it is where Max, Adobe software, and other apps using the plugin format put 3rd party items.

Good point... /Library/Application Support/Pd would be better, but the space in that path may need a little special care.
