Wow, what an improvement! I like it a lot. I have some comments:
- minor thing, maybe there could be less space on the sides, so the
panel would be narrower?
- about the Apply button, I think it should only show up on platforms
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.
- some separation of the buttons on the right column would make
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?
- the startup thing is trickier. I think that the textfield for
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.

Just verified against my own install of Pd-extended-0.40.3 on OS X
10.4 - enough differences exist otherwise in the nightlies that
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 :)?

Well scratch that then, perhaps that will only work when you're
building pd on your own machine. If you launch Pd from Terminal,
you might see error output in that terminal window - that would be
helpful to have.

I tried this with pd extended 0.40-3, but did not get a startup

And, here's a version with an updated Startup dialog. Simply copy
this to bin/pd.tk <http://pd.tk> (make a backup first!) to try it out.

Ok, after a busy week this is what I've been able to

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.
