If you are using Linux, there's a 'getenv.pd_linux' external in motex_1_1_2.tar.gz that can fetch the value of an environment variable eg. containing a path - so you can feed this into makefilename etc. See http://www.reverberant.com/Pd Hope this helps, iain

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to change the directory wich is displayed in the title bar after the name of a patch.
There are some opcodes that take this information for disk output and sometimes you don't want that the datas go to this dir.
On another hand, how to retrieve this information ? I would like to automaticly get the dir of a main patch to send it to my various saving mechanisms.
Best regards,
Linium
