    I'm in need of a little help,
    I've made a patch where I'm recording and saving audio samples but I want the samples to be saved in the same folder that I have the patch in, not in the default folder where the Max/MSP icon is. How can I make it so.
    Thanks,
    Kel

      2 ways: 1. filepath's default path can be set. 2. use opendialog to find the path or manually type it in as an argument to your write/open message.

      I could have sworn there was this huge thread about the path of the max folder (or your applications folder) and If I recall correctly, it wasn't solved. I hacked this together, it works for me. it needs jasch's objects, and the shell object
      heres to hoping I help someone, bottoms up.

      well, it's a nice hack; but not cross-platform :)
      if you aren't into the filepath thing, you could just include the path in your write message. here's the way i do it:
