Possibly with a 2nd arg-- zero for current behavior and nonzero for "warn if file exists before opening". But really that seems like treating the symptom-- the real solution would be to check if the file exists before sending the "open" message on to [writesf~]: [open foo.wav( | [check-if-file-exists-and-popup-a-modal-dialog-to-decide-whether-to-overwrite] | [writesf~] There is folder_list and split_path to get the job done, but I can't think of an object that pops up a modal dialog (and I don't have my search plugin installed at the moment). -Jonathan > > >Are these valid feature requests? > >J > > > >On Mar 1, 2013, at 9:33 AM, Julian Brooks wrote: > >Hello, >> >>So, I've just accidently caught the message box attached to writesf~ and >>deleted the audio that I just recorded as I sent an 'open' message with the >>same name as the file I'd previously recorded. >> >>Apart from it being a grim lesson I'm now curious.
