So, one thing I'd like, just get the filename and extension from [file split] as an option, so I wouldn't need [list split].
i think the best would be if [list split] would accept negative indices (counting from the end), to simply extraxt the last element of a list.
Also, something weird happened and files with space in its name came out as 'lists', not symbols.
i'm not sure i can follow. [file split] always outputs a list, regardless of spaces. ifa filename contains spaces, i here get something like: [list foo\ bar.pd( (that's a "list"-message with a single symbol-atom "foo bar.pd")
however, i noticed that my unit-tests (that are automatically run on linux, windows and macOS) do not cover splitting files with spaces. so i might have missed some cross-platform thing.
Another thing is just an easier way to 'seek' for files with a specific extension and also get the number of found files.
that seems very high-level to me.
(aka: build your abstraction around [file] to get this and a graphical pull-down menu for chosing files and playing the soundfile)
And yes, getting the patch's directory by default would make things easier and bypass the need of [pdcontrol].
there's an open PR that adds [file patchpath] (and more).
