I was just looking at romans old post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg04869.html
did this ever get fixed? In the help->pd help browser->pd msg->msg_and_pd->open_close.pd i see:
"Sometimes you can get relative paths (./, ../, etc.) to work, but usually not. I don't know why..."
the example under it uses [getdir]
there is no vanilla [getdir] right? and i was assuming the manual example above was a vanilla example...
IDK basically im trying to have a vanilla way to do [pd open $1 $2{ and have $2 relative to where ever my patch is sitting.
but maybe im easily missing the obvious something that was addressed since romans 2007 post...
