is anyone aware of a way to create a directory from a max patch?

I'd like to create a new folder to export images to each time i open the patch.

create-directory

you should try with java. max isn't able to create a directory.

public void makedir(String string){
        boolean success = (new File(string)).mkdir();
        if (success) {
            System.out.println("Directory: " + string + " created");
        }
}


public void makedir(String string){
		boolean success = (new File(string)).mkdir();
		if (success) {
		    System.out.println("Directory: " + string + " created");
		}
}


("string" must be the complete path to the directory as a symbol)

You could also try 'aka.shell' which should be able to do it via 'mkdir'

There's [fscopy] which is a Jasch external which will do this for OSX.

I found this object for both windows and mac.

the jamoma package has a very nice external which does this smoothly and works great. cross platform.
