if you use [sys_gui] then yuo will _always_ have to live with a delay. i can only repeat myself, that the pd-gui (which executes the [sys_gui] commands) and the pd-core are asynchronous applications. this is by design.
Yes of course, it can't be any other way.
I was just looking for a "synchronous" solution; however at the end I opted for simply pre-generating the folders.
It would be cool however to have a set of externals (or an external with a set of methods) to perform basic filesystem tasks, such as creating and deleting folders and deleting files, in a "synchronous" way, to have that possibility, just like [textfile] writes and reads in a synchronous way. Even in Vanilla, why not. This is just for the wishlist.
One idea would be to modify [textfile]'s behaviour so that, when it receives a [write( message, and the path where the file is to be written does not exist, it will (attempt to) create the folder, or all the directory tree down to the complete path. Wouldn't that be fine?
