Neither does "-d 2" flag. (I need to run in debug mode to see certain msgs).
The "-verbose" flag however, did turn on verbose reporting. But now, even after clearing and saving settings, verbose is permanently in effect!

Please advise. Thank you.
MacOS 10.4.8
Pd-0.40-2

P.S. Just to clarify, I entered the -d 1 flag in the field titled "startup flags" of Pd preferences->startup. Then, clicked "save all settings", and restarted Pd.
