hi miller,

thanks for investigating this 'problem'.

my patch is randomly reading wav's from a library(=folder). for that it needs first to find out what's in the folder.

which is done with [moocow/readdir]. (i don't know another way)

to give [readdir] the right directory i was using "../sounds". this doesn't work when Pd is started first.

with [getdir] i hoped to have a workaround. however [getdir], following Pd, gives different answers, depending whether a [declare -path .] is used or not.

strange enough (?) using "./sounds" seems to work ok. it would mean to put the folder with wav's inside the patch folder.

which of course isn't a very elegant solution.

ciao, rolf

OK... but I don't see any problem there - 'empty' gets saved to the correct place, just with a different spaling of the file path, correct? I
thought the original problem was in not being able to load a soundfile from a
'declared' folder somehow.

cheers Miller
