i was trying to give [folder] object the folder enclosed in quotation marks ( because this is what i’ve first understood from the [folder] help ).
But then i realized that [folder] just wants the path NOT included in quotation marks.

so this is the solution for getting the parent path of a given file dropped on [live.drop]

i guess quotation marks are used when there is some space character in the path name.
the thing is that [folder] seems kind of erratic…no problems with path without space.
But when the path has some space sometimes [folder] works correctly and sometimes not….mmmhhh ( buggity-bug ? )

Not to bad. I was only doin’ some experiment. i think nobody will use .exe or .dll files in max patches. but in case somebody want to do it.. well [folder] won’t recognize those file types
