Re: [PD] how to do fileio dialog and dialog boxes

There are [openpanel] & [savepanel] externs that allow you to open and save files through the use of dialog boxes from within your PD patch. Is this what you're looking for?

Hi,

I'm looking for the interface to dialog boxes and file i/o dialogs and documentation on how to access them from within pd, or is the use of such things greatly discouraged in a pure environment :) ?

Yours, Orm

P.S.: Unfortunately I don't have any knowledge of tk/tcl and also don't know a lot about guis, flow of commands and the underlying message system altogether, including the notion of a canvas in the context of pd. I just used the Interface of the old MacOS for Dialogs.
