patch involves a lot of shell operations (using ggee/control/shell - the osx version appears to have only one outlet, is there a reason?) and I can only make gatom 80 characters long. I think this is why a * appears in my pathnames at the 80th character, e.g. /Users/patricksutherland/Documents/Edkelly/testinput/Andrew Sachs/excerpts/Ex-*
On the other hand this is coming from a [ makesymbol %s-voicing] where the %s is another path.
It works fine under Linux, but in osx things don't work! Anyone know why/how to fix it?
i couldnt get shell to work how i wanted on linux, or to work at all on windows, so i made a [popen] which is in CVs.. you could try that, but be warned it is not threaded at all, yur pd will 'freeze' while its waiting for return..
your [shell] issue is probably not too complicated, maybe an OSX user can figure it out :)
