You can also use [declare -path] to set paths for soundfile ala [declare -path .] etc.

Dear all

I am wondering if I my assumptions are wrong, or if there is a
discrepancy that needs solving (or not.)

Setup: if one installs objects like our flucoma.org bundle, one might
have stuff included in the help, like media files. To make a clean
install, we have put all of them in a folder called media/

The behaviour I rely on for the held-files is that [soundfiler] will
find, for instance, [read -resize media/mysound.wav] (see attached
file)


If 'media' lies near the patch, yes. From what I understand, when given
a relative path to [soundfiler] (and many other objects), it'll try all
search paths, starting with the directory of the path.
