I'm using the [playlist] object and I want to be able to load a directory by using the filebrowser dialogue. Usually you would do this by sending [location /path/to/directory ( to [playlist] but I want to do it dynamically. Does an object like [opedirectory] exist? I've tried sending [openpanel] to [location $1 ( but it expects a filename
Thanks

[openpanel] has not method for 'location', but it has a method for 'symbol' which sets the directory to start. e.g. [symbol /tmp( | [openpanel]
will always open in "/tmp/" (if that exists)

But [openpanel] is not made for selecting a folder, it is made for selecting files (non-folder files).
That's the difference between tk_getOpenFile and tk_chooseDirectory.
grep -r tk_chooseDirectory pd-svn
matches (2 in total) : Benjamin Bogart's abstractions/pixelTANGO/abstractions/dirpanel.pd Thomas-O. Fredericks' externals/tof/src/folderpanel.c
looks like a Montréal-only feature ! ;)

Thanks, [dirpanel] was exactly what I was looking for!

tof/folderpanel is probably better maintained, but I've never used
dirpanel.

TOF told me that he stopped using pd in late 2010. That means that the tof library and the mtl library are more or less orphaned... not mentioning the former pdmtl (v1) library.
