I know this is old, but I just found a really handy way to embed these settings in the patch:

Attachment: save-audio-settings.pd
Description: Binary data

hi,
so you mean that pd will read its preference file in

/Contents/org.puredata.pd.plist

yes - but only if no preference file exists in ~/Library/Preferences/

does it override the ~/Library/Preferences/ one?

no.  therefore you have to rename (backup) or delete this version of
the org.puredata.pd.plist if you want Pd to find its version in
Pd*.app/Contents/

it's been a while since i managed to use pd command line on osx
the only way i found was to compile it and move the extras from Pd-
extended

yeah, this is essentially what i do - starting with a plain Pd .app
bundle, and copying in only the externals i need from Pd-extended.
This way I have a purpose-made Pd.app without the bloat.

anyway this preferences trick sounds really good.
thanks

it's not bad, but does have some limitations if you want to load a
patch from within the bundle.  basically, you can only refer to
absolute paths, so if you put a patch in the bundle, designed for a
path of /Applications/Pd*.app/Contents/Resources/my-patch.pd  then it
will only work when the Pd app is in /Applications directory.

I think Hans' Pd standalone app maker overcomes this problem, but I
haven't tried it yet.

hope this script helps some anyway.
