On OSX it's actually unfortunately like this - BEFORE step 1, before you
can create the directory ~/Library/Pd:
If you're running Lion or Mavericks, open a terminal and type this
command:
/usr/bin/chflags nohidden ~/Library
(you may have to do this again after apple does a system update)
If you're running El Capitan or Yosemite, follow these instructions to
unhide ~/Library
http://osxdaily.com/2014/12/16/show-user-library-folder-os-x-yosemite/
If you're running Sierra, follow these instructions to unhide ~/Library
https://consumingtech.com/unhide-make-library-folder-visible-macos-sierra/
Again - we just need a standard path for externals that the OS considers
to be userspace to resolve this.
Like ~/Documents/Pd
I'm not asking that it be auto-created (although I would personally like
that too). I'm just asking that it be added to Pd's search path.
