hi Frank,
that patch helps in testing Tk listbox widget's behaviour in the context of toxy. It loads current directory listing, allowing one to choose a file name, and press OK button, getting that name through a tow.
I am pretty sure, I had this patch running while validating things both for cvs commit, and uploading to suita. It is certainly ok here now, in the new Pd, although toxy has been updated quite a bit since (no time to gather all things for a release, no time for hacking, in fact).
Perhaps, there is a version clash of toxy/Pd binaries, or... you have been running the patch with current directory being empty.
Btw (Guenter?), I have just found there is an incompatibility between Pd and coll (thus hammer lib as a whole is broken too) in debian sarge. That coll is from hammer alpha42. The version currently in cvs should be more tolerant, I guess.

Hallo,
I'm under the impression, that listbox-test.pd in toxy (both CVS and in the archive) is broken. Does anyone have a fixed version or could explain, what the patch does?
