Are you using readsf~ to read th soundfile? Unfortunately, readsf~ doesn't search along the canvas's path (for complicated reasons) and so needs to be sent an explicit path, like "../folder/a.wav", to find files outside the patch's directory.
Alternatively you can set Pd's global path in preferences -- readsf~ knows how to use those even though it doesn't know about the patch's own declarations. cheers Miller On Sat, Jan 25, 2014 at 11:05:39PM +0100, [email protected] wrote: > > sorry, i should be more precise about what i experience. > > i'm using "../folder" to load soundfiles in my patch. > while having a [declare -path .] in the main patch. > > like i said in the first mail: this works when the patch is started > up 'directly'. > > when i first start Pd and then open the patch with the menu-open > Pd cannot find the directory. > > rolf > > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
