Just a quick one about how to use replace or import into buffer with a sound found in a Subdirectory of the local patch.

eg. my patch is in folder c:Patcher - my audio is in c:Patcheraudioxxx.wav

Without adding the directory into MaxMSP (to keep it portable), how is this possible?

I tried just doing "replace audioxxx.wav" with no luck. And absolutepath confuses me slightly, and seems to only apply to paths that have been already added to Max.

You can get the location of the current patch by using the "path" message to [thispatcher]. You could then use [sprintf] to add on any subdirectories and the filename. This method won't work if you compile a standalone application as the file is no longer a .maxpat so if you intend on using this in an application search the term "sendapppath" which should point you in the right direction.
