HI
I can't seem to write a file into a folder using [writesf~]
So when I click the [open -bytes 3 /audio/foo.wav( message,
presumably it should create a folder called audio with the file
foo.wav in it?
Nope, the folder has to be there first. Creating a file that has a
non-existent path does NOT create the path.
.But it doesn't do anything.
Just as it should. There is no folder in which to write the file.
Just doing [open -bytes 3 foo.wav( works fine and creates foo.wav
in the same directory as the patch.
This is normal, too.
AM I misunderstanding this, or is it a bug?
While you can use some of the shell externals for Pd to create folders, Pd
itself won't create them.
I am not really sure about writesf~, but you should be getting an error
message back, because the file it is trying to work with does not exist,
because the full path does not exist.
