To clarify: The file I want is:
/Volumes/WORKGROUPHARBOUR/Projects/ShortTermDoc/Code/VideoFiler/ 20071004/test1-1.mov
when I click on it in the openpanel help patch, I see this:
print: symbol /Volumes/WORKGROUPHARBOUR/Projects/ShortTermDoc/Code/ VideoFiler/20071004/test1*
where the position of the * is consistent across various files I have
tried.
The problem might be in TkTcl. If I create a deep directory structure:
$ mkdir
1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/123456
7890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890
$ touch
1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/123456
7890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/ttt
then try to openpanel into it, I get the following in the Pd console
window:
error: .printout.text: no such object print: symbol /Users/tibo/ 1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/*
I checked to see whether symbols has a maximum length of 80 char or
so, but it does
not seem to be the case. That is what I meant by my last comment.
Anybody know how I might get around this?
Cheers,
tim

I have found a strange problem with openpanel on OSX and linux.
If I open a file with a long name, including the whole directory,
then it gets cropped at around 80 characters (maybe 78 or 79). I
have tested this on a debian 0.40 install and the latest OSX
extended. I cannot see where this 80 character restriction might
come from - looking at the source there seems to be no place that
it is mentioned within the PD code.[print] has a limit size like that, but the actual limit size of pd
is more like 1000.(in desiredata, the limit of 1000 has been removed)
I hope someone can help. It does not seem to be a problem with symbol lengths.
What do you mean?
