Hm, this gets asked (and answered) once every 1.5 weeks. What can we do about it?
maybe a little help or hint link inside the preference dialogue that points to http://puredata.info/docs/tutorials/TipsAndTricks#add-more-entries-to-the-pa...
would help a lot.
any tcl/tk heroes around?

It would be much better to actually create a preferences pane that
can handle more than 10 items. If someone handles building the GUI,
I'll help make it work in Pd. If you've done any kind of GUI
building, then it's quite straightforward. You don't really have to
know Tcl at all.
http://pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net/pure-data/pd/src/u_main.tk? view=markup
At line 4124, you'll see proc pdtk_path_dialog {id extrapath
verbose}, that's the function that draws the preference pane. "wm"
is the sets the window properties, "frame" is a frame for GUI
elements, like Swing or any other GUI toolkit, "pack" gathers
together the elements into a unit. "button" is a button,
"checkbutton" is a checkbox, "entry" is a textfield, etc.
You can edit that file in your Pd install (/usr/local/lib/pd/bin/
pd.tk, /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd.tk, or
C:\Program Files\pd\bin\pd.tk)

the problem is, that pd(-engine) won't send more than 10 paths to the pd-gui; so you can add as many slots as you want, but you will still lose you changes once you re-open the path-dialog and save.
that's why i (as total tcl/tk noob) did this patch: https://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1810951&group_id=55...

Looks interesting, it would be much easier for us to test it if you
check it into packages/patches, then it'll be in all the autobuilds. :D
I have two comments on it:
- Instead of having an 'entry' for each line, I think there should be
a scrollable text field of fixed size, like 10 elements or so. Then
that textfield can handle unlimited numbers of paths. Then there
would be a + and - button to add and remove things.
- instead of having pd_startup0 thru pd_startupN as global variables,
it seems like it would be much cleaner if pd_startup (and pd_path for
that matter) were array or list references.

yes, feel free to add it :-)

yes of course. however it was too complicated for my limited knowledge of tcl/tk and time.

again my limited skills! btw, "pd_startup" and "pd_path" _are_ list references. i just didn't bother how to add elements of a global list variable as storage for the text entries.
the good thing is that with my patch, at least the infrastructure at the C-side is independent of the number of paths.
just take my code and modify it to your needs.
