This patch will do what you want. It was originally created for audio loops, but will work for any directory or file extension.

I use [playlist] on pd-extended, I don't have a help file but use this http://wiki.puredata.info/en/playlist
"You can seek a file in the list [seek $1( It will skip the first two items ( '.' and '..') and behave like a round list"
So it is very easy to use with [random]

This is a VERY helpful patch, thanks. I wish we could have something like playlist~ for windows.

Patrick,
Here's an abstraction I made to handle file browsing with a GUI interface. I actually based it on one of the PDMTL abstractions, having not known until this thread that [playlist] existed. Anyway, it should do all the same things playlist does, except for being resizeable.
You can select files by index or using the GUI. The right outlet gives you the number of loaded files, so you can use this to set the range of a [random] object and use it to select files by index.
Attached is the patch and its help file.

Oops, looks like I left a couple [print] objects in the abstraction from when I was debugging it. You can delete [print STACK2] [print STACK3] [print STACK4]

Looks like it's missing "folderpanel" and &n 1

Patrick,
[folderpanel] is an object from the TOF library, which is included with pd-extended but which I always have to add manually in the paths menu (don't know why this is, my guess is: bug).
[$n 1] is short for [dollarg] from the iemlib (also included with pd-extended). I'm not sure what the problem is with it, but it doesn't always load for me either. In fact, I'm going to contact the list about it now.
I fixed a couple things including replacing [$n 1] with [dollarg] and correcting the output of the right outlet, and attached the new version to this message.
To get it working you should just have to add the TOF library to your paths and/or startup (I have it in both, don't remember which is required), in order for it to recognize [folderpanel]. Hope that does it.

Try [tof/folderpanel] or
[import tof] [folderpanel]
