I need to read image files from a folder inside the patch folder. I don't won't to have all the images files in the main folder but I am having some problems:

1) Whenever I use folder object and I specify the folder with the "" symbol, it disappears! Then it tells me that ./Fotografias is not a folder!!! But it exists...

2) If i specify directly the folder + the file, the jit.qt.movie object says it does not exist!

If I have everything in the root directory (where I have my main patch file) everything is ok!

Make sure that you go to folder options and that those folders are included in the search path of Max and your project.

I know about search path. But I need this to run in any computer!

That's why I thought to "go, find and populate" all the files from a directory inside the main patch folder. In that way, I can run this in any computer from any place in the computer as long as the images folders is inside the main patch folder.
