Is there a place in OS X/Windows to store temporarily files, which would 

be erased automatically when I close max? Just curious. I know the tmp 

folder in OS X, but that seems only be emptied on restart of the 

computer, which is a rare occasion on an OS X machine...

It's not automatic, but I've put together an mxj object that deletes all

files in a specified directory. Might be of some use...

this erases a given folder :

additionnally this should work :
"rm -r /tmp/myfile"

Now I need to know how the differences between Java file paths and Max 

I created a tmp folder within the Max folder, placed some files, sent 

deletefile ./tmp and it deleted the tmp directory of my home directory 

An absolute path to that tmp directory created the following error message:

error: at deletefiles.deletefiles(deletefiles.java:28)

deletefile ./tmp and it deleted the tmp directory of my home directory

An absolute path to that tmp directory created the following error message:
