Ah. This makes sense.
i am not sure what you would like to achieve with [pwd] or [cd] that is: if you could manage with [pwd] and [cd], why can't you do so with the current absolute/relative path in [openpanel]?I was just looking for a quick hack to get my patches working that
try to open up a specific directory using [openpanel]. But I guess the real solution is making [openpanel]/[savepanel] relative to the patch it they live in. I don't really know how this would work for an [openpanel]/[savepanel] within an abstraction.i agree with you, that this new feature of [openpanel] and [savepanel] is kind of bogus the way it is implemented now. in so many cases you rather would want to set a path relative to the patch instead of relative to pd start location.
i personally think, that [[open][save]panel]s within abstractions
should behave accordingly: path should be relative to the file location (the path that is written in the window title, when you open the window).the same goes for the 'open' message to pd: i can't think of a good reason for the actual behaviour. relative to the patch would make much more sense, IMO.
i stop saying this over and over again, as soon as someone comes up
with a really good explanation for the current implementation(sorry for
being so strongheaded).
I also think the default should be relative to the patch. I am not
quite sure now to handle abstractions, that's worth discussing more.
I don't have time to work on it now, but if someone posts a bug in
the tracker (or feature request, if you think that's better), I'll
try my hand at it later.
It's always useful to include a link to web archive to related
discussions like this in the bug tracker.
On a related note, for this release, I made Save As default to the
Home folder (~/), what do people think about that?
