i know this has already been discussed a while ago but this old thread didn't help me to solve my problem.

i can't get the path to my mxf with path>thispatcher>absolutepath.

it works with max 4.6.3, but not in max 5... max gives me this error :

error: cannot build search path from root directory

(my mxf isn't located in my root directory but on my desktop)

but... this works fine in an application, but not in a collective.

the collective returns the Max5 application folder (because it's running in max or the runtime)
