When i use splitfile in this way, it crashes pd without prompting...
    

are you sure? your patch does not crash here ;-)

the patch you send me is just one of the standard ways to use
[splitfilname]. (it really looks like a help-patch)

of course, [openpanel] might output a symbol that crashes
[splitfilename], but it didn't do so with any random file i opened.
this was exactly the reason why i asked for a crashpatch: have a
_reliable_ and _reproducible_ way to trigger a crash. (not just sometimes).

in order to proceed could you please: find a file that always crashes pd
when you select it with the openpanel in the patch you sent me.
then make a patch like:


[bng]
|
[openpanel]
|
[set symbol $1(
|
[ (
|
[splitfilename]


press bang and select the filename that crashes [splitfilename]. press
"ok" in the openpanel-dialog.
save the patch.
verify that it crashes by clicking on the messagebox which shows the
filename.
send me the patch with the bad symbol.
