'Folder' order of operations
Sorry if this one has been mentioned before, or if its a legacy thing I’ve never noticed. The folder object’s left outlet fires before the right one.
Has this always been the case? I have a patching situation where it would be preferable to receive the number of files in the folder before the contents are dumped out.

Yep, always been like that, as long as there’s been two outlets.
Consider that the object may not even know how many files there are until it’s iterated through the lot.

Good to know. I solved the problem by having folder input all of the filenames into a coll, and then once the total is output sending a dump message to the coll.

A simple trigger and int manage to recreate the output of folder
perfectly. :-)
That wasn’t what the original poster was after, though. The coll
solution mentioned earlier might be the best approach, but it could
also be approached with cascaded folder objects.
