This made the patterns show up in PS, but how come they do not show up in the actual patterns folder if I manually go look under Applications?

I never use patterns folder in Applications to store .pat files. I created my own folder and save them there. PS remembers the path to it.

Really? How? Sorry for my stupidness. I just got a new MacBook Pro and I'm new to Photoshop. I've always used Windows and Paintshop Pro. D: haha

And now my Photoshop unexpectedly closed yesterday and I opened it today and now all the patterns I added, by following your instructions, have all disappeared! Now I only have 2 patterns showing up (the ones that come with PS). So, maybe if I can have PS remember the path to all the textures I have, like you've done, they will actually stay like they're supposed to! lol If it's not too much to ask, since I'm such a noob lol, can you walk me through it? I'd be very grateful. :)

Well, I don't remember if I indicated the path to my folders in PS settings. I think PS remembers the last visited path by itself. How I do it, I just create my folder for patterns (f.e. 'My Documents - PS - Patterns'), and they never disappear from there. When I open PS and choose Paint Bucket Tool, my own folder is always showing up.

Sometimes however PS opens its own folder, but then I just show the way to mine :)
