[PD] "Open file" in specific directory
Hi, how can I convince pd-extended to start the fileselector box in a specific directory which is not my $HOME ? (I am using pd-extended on Linux). Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Re: [PD] "Open file" in specific directory
the open dialog's path starts from wherever pd was launched, and if you are launching pd from a menu item, then it starts from where the desktop manager was launched etc etc.. you can test this out by launching pd from a console, starting at the folder you desire. if you need this to always be the case create a wrapper shell script for pd which changes directory (cd /path/) previous to launching, or simply create an alias to pd in your .bashrc : alias pd='cd /usr/lib/pd ; pd ; cd $OLD_PWD' -- meino.cra...@gmx.de wrote: > Hi Inaudible, > > ...sorry...I meant the "Open"-dialog, which > I can access via the menu in the console panel. > That I hadnt clearly said... > > > > dmotd [10-03-23 04:24]: > > send [openpanel] a symbol of the path to its inlet. > > > > [symbol /usr/lib/pd [ > > | > > [openpanel] > > > > -- > > > > meino.cra...@gmx.de wrote: > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > how can I convince pd-extended to start the fileselector > > > box in a specific directory which is not my $HOME ? > > > (I am using pd-extended on Linux). > > > > > > Thank you very much in advance for your help! > > > Best regards, > > > mcc > > > > > > -- > > > Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments > > > unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text. > > > See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html > > > In a world without fences and walls nobody needs gates and windows. > > > > > > > > > ___ > > > Pd-list@iem.at mailing list > > > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > > > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > > > > ___ > > Pd-list@iem.at mailing list > > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > > > > -- > Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments > unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text. > See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html > In a world without fences and walls nobody needs gates and windows. > > > ___ > Pd-list@iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Ok, thanks a lot.

Re: [PD] "Open file" in specific directory
With pd-gui-rewrite, this behavior works better. It remembers the last place you opened and the last place you saved and uses them as the defaults. .hc On Mar 23, 2010, at 12:08 AM, meino.cra...@gmx.de wrote: Ok, thanks a lot.
