can't open
Hi,
When I populate my ubumenu directly from [opendialog] I can load soundfiles in a [buffer~].
This seems not possible if I give the same path with [folder].
In all case the path seems the same, but with this 2nd method I get the message:
error: buffer~:path/..../file.aif: can't open
Anyone has an idea?
I want to use [folder] to select only soundfiles in the specified folder.

It's probably a symbol issue, when you have spaces in the name of the
file for instance. Make sure you use the symout argument for [sprintf]
and it should work smoothly.

Neither symout or no space in the path or soundfile allows me to resolve the strangeness.
any other idea?

Judiciously hanging message boxes around allowed me to see what the
problem is (you'll have to have a bunch of [prepend set], too in Max 4).
Your "bad" menu has a prefix of "append" so file names are all in the
form of appendFileName.aif

Yes, of course.
Thank you very much.
