[list split] would accept negative indices (counting from the end)
+10!
yeah, that's great. I have a n external that does that [slice] and would gladly remove it for a vanilla solution.

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")
yeah that's not the issue
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.
yup, this is the issue, when splitting a file with a space, like Users/porres/Desktop/rename\ copy.pd
I get:
list / Users porres Desktop list\ rename\ copy.pd
so for the file name I actually get symbol list\ rename\ copy.pd
that seems very high-level to me.
I'll insist and say I think it'd be really nice if we could have a [file seek] object that browses through files in a directory. But anyway, I can keep using [else/dir] for that.
