create directory on Windows 64 bit
I'm a longtime user of Bill Orcutt's mkdir external for Windows, for directory creation.
I now need a 64 bit Windows solution.
Ideally, I do NOT want to use Java or other non-native Max solution if possible. Does anyone have any pointers to how I might do this? On the Mac I use Jasch's createfolder external, but sadly that's one of his non-cross platform externals....
I am sure that You remember how often that request has been discused here on the forums.
Till this day there is no native folder creation in Max.
Few on the list I remember mentioned that it would be just tooo easy to make an external,
but nobody did it...
I too dislike java.
I was thinking about a possible solution, in case I'd be forced to do it on 64 bit windows,
using savedialog to get path, packing it into script and running it
using ; max launchbrowser ...
But that would never be as simple as having external which would also report
creation success...
Yes, very aware of the need and of the frequency that it's been discussed. Simply hoping that something has crept up since the last time it was mentioned that I was unaware of.... Unfortunately I don't have the skillset to make my own externals, otherwise I'd be on it!
I'm thrilled to report that Jan Schacher, creator of the Jasch externals, has come through for us - he has ported his createfolder external to now work on Windows, with both 32 and 64 bit versions, in his latest 0.7.2 release:
Thank you Jan!!!!
you are welcome.
