I have a really stupidly complicated system setup using 4NT where
it will dump all files and locations with a specified extension, in whatever dirs you want, in a txt file. I then use [textfile] to cycle through the txt file to select the samples I want.
This, of course, can't really be done live in an [openpanel] kind
of concept, I do this all before I run Pd.
I'll share it with you if you *really* want the headache of using it.

hello does anyone know is it possible to specify a specific directory pathway without specifying a specific file? Something simmilar to [openpanel] so I can send a bang that will open up a explorer box, except that I can only choose a folder instead of a file. Is there anyway to strip the file name off from the root path that is given with [openpanel]? I want to tell a [soundfiler] where to look for a group of wav files but not to locate any one in particular. I am on a winXP system.
