Hi Jerry, I looked into your composition (even I do not have installed a missing patch) I can also see, that there is something "wrong".
I think the problem might be a performance optimization at the Multiplexer-patch choosing the empty string or the folder name from the String printer patch: Once the multiplexer-patch chooses Source 0 for the result, the backward-tree of Source 1 never gets calculated. This means, that the String printer don't get calculated and the Counter too. So in general if a patch isn't calculated, you have to think who is needing the output of that patch. The information is not been pushed forward, but recursively fetched from the billboard backwards. To proof this assumption I connected the Counter to the multiplexer with a math expression, so that is force to be calculated, but has no influence on the multiplexer at all: "a + b - b". Find attached your composition slightly modified. best, Achim Breidenbach Boinx Software
