(CC: Remmy, not sure if on the Pd mailing list)
looks like there's a size limit for the callback message.
...and it's around 4 kilobytes, from a quick test with very-long-filename-files and the [openpanel] help patch which [print]s the result of [openpanel].
I see one OK and three bad results, depending on the combined length of filenames (which I measure from the output of [print] in the console, i.e. everything after "print: list "):
- Up to 4069 (sic!) characters, everything is fine. [openpanel] prints
all filenames.
- At 4070, [openpanel] does not [print] anything.
- Above 4070, I get an error message with just the part of the filename
exceeding 4070 characters, like "aaaaa: no such object".
- For yet larger values, I get an error message "float: no such object".
(Didn't yet bisect the concrete value, 4260 sure triggers it.) Are the error messages length-limited as well? :-)
I'd suggest to open a ticket on GitHub!
Remmy: I can help with that if you like.

Hello,
I'm trying to open 189 files with
[bang( | [openpanel 2]
file names are 1.wav, 2.wav, 3.wav... 189.wav with different sizes from 48,2 to 343,5 KiB
when I use short paths, like home/user/Music/test_samples I'm able to open 112 files with long paths, for ex: home/user/FOLDER_1/Folder_002/Folder_3/folder_4/folder_5/test_samples I can only open 53 files max. more than that, it gives me an error in console: av: no such object
If anyone can explain why this happens and how to overcome these limits I would be very grateful.
thanks in advance! remmy
