Hallo, Timmy hat gesagt: // Timmy wrote:

is there a similar object to the coll object in pd ?

[textfile] is the most similar object to coll in Pd. If you also include externals, then you could also look into pool, msgfile, pbank or of course the Lua loader.

im trying to save preferences for a patch.. is this possible ??

[sssad] can be used for this, where to save to is yur choice - textfile, msg, pool, coll, all work. Memento is another system for state saving, which requires [pool] and [OSCroute].

also does anyone know of a way to have a specified folder preselected in the "openpanel" object.. at the moment it always opens in the same dir as the saved pd file.. id like to create browsable folders/filesystem for selecting files whilst performing..

Send a "symbol /my/path" to [openpanel] instead of a bang. You may be interested in reading the help-file for openpanel. ;)
