To clarify: The file I want is: /Volumes/WORKGROUPHARBOUR/Projects/ShortTermDoc/Code/VideoFiler/ 20071004/test1-1.mov
when I click on it in the openpanel help patch, I see this: print: symbol /Volumes/WORKGROUPHARBOUR/Projects/ShortTermDoc/Code/ VideoFiler/20071004/test1* where the position of the * is consistent across various files I have tried. The problem might be in TkTcl. If I create a deep directory structure: $ mkdir 1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/123456 7890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890 $ touch 1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/123456 7890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/ttt then try to openpanel into it, I get the following in the Pd console window: error: .printout.text: no such object print: symbol /Users/tibo/ 1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/* I checked to see whether symbols has a maximum length of 80 char or so, but it does not seem to be the case. That is what I meant by my last comment. Anybody know how I might get around this?
