i do not know, but i'm very sure that you shouldn't use .pdrc at all.
.pdsettings has superseded it with Pd-0.38-0, released in january 2005.
support for .pdrc has been kept for *legacy* settings for >10 years now.

rather than finding and fixing *any* bugs with .pdrc, support for it
should be removed completely.

yes.

then you shouldn't click on "save" in any of the properties/settings
dialogs.

i find it faster to just switch from/to edit-mode with
+-+.
this will deselect the current object without a click.

sure thing.
this is mainly because ~/.pdsettings works differently from .pdrc (which
just had one-cmdline-arg per line).
instead, .pdsettings uses key/value pairs with the "keys" being
predefined and not corresponding to any cmdline args, so "autopatch: 0"
is not a valid setting here (and "noautopatch" or "-noautopatch" are
totally not).
luckily you can specify cmdline-args in the "flags" section, so having
"flags: -noautopatch" should do what you want.

Strangely neither setting 

-noautopatch

nor 

noautopatch

in my ~/.pdsettings disables autopatching. Specifying it on the command
line does work though. Can anyone else reproduce this?

Hi,

With no ~/.pdsettings, putting -noautopatch into my ~/.pdrc works as
expected. Tested with:

$ pd -version
Pd-0.47.1 ("") compiled for Debian (0.47.1-3) on 2016/11/28 at 20:56:10 UTC

~/.pdsettings has a strange format, more complex than ~/.pdrc - it's
meant to be edited and saved via the GUI.

Thank you! Feels good to have arrived in this decade.

In my case ~/.pdsettings was empty, hence pd didn't fall back to .pdrc

Does pd write into .pdsettings itself by the way? What if I don't want
that?

Oh absolutely! There is nothing wrong with it. I simply want to spare
me the extra click onto the canvas to de-select the currently created
object before creating a new one.

Thanks again, P

Pd's config-file on linux is called ~/.pdsettings for about a decade (or
longer).
iirc, it will fallback to ~/.pdrc, but only if it cannot find a
~/.pdsettings.

oh, and btw: autopatching is *really* nice (mostly).
