That reminds me of something - is there something like this to get the number of files in a directory?
thanks

Hi,
sorry, this is probably trivial, but I can't seem to find the solution: I use a self written external in a pd patch, which on setup loads initialization data from subdirectories with relative pathnames to the directory the patch lives in.
Loading the pd patch from a terminal within the patches' directory leads to pd having this directory as the current directory with all relative paths working from there. Loading the patch with double-clicking it will lead to pd starting from it's default directory and the relative pathnames don't work from within the external's setup routine.
How is it possible to determine and then set pd's current/default directory to the path, the external's root canvas is located at from within the external?
