I've got a patch that is designed to generate a large number of wave files. I've tried using savedialog to specify the file path to save them to, but it keeps giving me "extra argument to wavewrite" errors. I suspect it has something to do with folder names with spaces in them.

Anyway, is there some simple way to refer to the directory the patch is located in so that it will save there? Currently it saves in whatever directory was last accessed through Max, meaning loading other patches screws it up.

 will give you what you want wrt the location of the patch.

But it sounds like you may not be using the full save path, like, 'write "Mac HD:/Users/Me/Documents/My Max Stuff/"'.

Feel free to post a simplified patch if you are still having problems.
