Alternatively you could use [playlist], which is an in-patch file browser. by sending [location /folder/path/ ( to the object it'll jump to that location and you can also restrict what is displayed to a specific file extension.

Hi,

I'd like to use [openpanel] to let a user easily chose a file without having to type its name, but then I would like to take the relative path of the file (relative to the patch) rather than its full absolute path. Is there a way to accomplish that?

Is there some external that would take an absolute path as a symbol, compare it to the current working directory, and return a relative path to the same file?

Alternatively, is there an external that can return the current working directory? On top of that, I could build an abstraction that would do almost what I need at least under some restrictions (e.g. when the file is in a descendant of the current folder)....

Thanks m.

I use [absolutepath] and [relativepath] from moonlib.
