How to see the full file path that a buffer~ object is holding?
Hi, if I drag a sound file from the browser onto a buffer~ object, how can I see the full path it is pointing to?
Thanks

Use [dropfile] which will output the full filepath when dropping files from both the max and operating system file browser. You can easily [prepend replace] it in to your [buffer~].
Hi OK that sounds great. How do I do that? I am not given an option to use something called [dropfile]
Thanks

Oh, if you're using the runtime version of Max you will not be able to edit the patch and you'll have to ask the original author or someone who has the non-runtime version to edit it for you.
If you do have the normal version of max then it is as simple as pressing "n" to create a new object then type the name of the object.
