Well, another way migth be to have Pd only query the first time in a Pd session and then proceed automatically. I'll try that out - but since I'll probably introduce a bug or two I'd just as soon wait till after the 0.27-0 release.
Me, when I shout a thte computer, it's more likely to be "where the *&$^%& did you put the file I just downloaded?" or "why the $%*& did you just do that" as opposed to "why did you just ask me to confirm this operation that will put files on my disk". But I know my own tastes aren't shared by all users... cheers M On Thu, May 05, 2016 at 08:32:46PM +0200, IOhannes m zmölnig wrote: > On 05/04/2016 11:53 PM, Miller Puckette wrote: > > I believe it should be just the one.
