I think not, as it is dealt with by the system. It might be possible to do something with the opendialog and filepath objects. The opendialog could replace the built-in replace function of buffer~, and with filepath, the most recent path could be set to the default. I couldn't really test this on my system, as I have been using for over a decade the system extension Default Folder for mac. This adds the functionality of remembering where you've been, and it does that in a really smart way. It has by now saved me about 2,034,238,434 mouse clicks, or maybe a few less.

Amen to Default Folder - along with CopyPaste, which I've been also using since System 7.x, the most indispensable Mac utility there is. Should be written into the OS. You can always populate a folder with samples from a folder, to save your wrist. You can also use filepath to set the folder for that menu, which will then be remembered. I'm not at a Max machine right now, but the [folder] and [filepath] help patches should get you there, Cheers Roger Cheers Roger

Cheers Roger

damn Roger...this works great !!! thanx so much.....very cool.....

hey roger, sorry for my question again...but isn't this enough (please have a look at the subpatcher)? did u add these other things just for checking? thanx again

Maybe something like this?

thanx guys...roger's patch is really what i was looking for and i got the point of the 'filepath' object in his subpatcher. if i choose anything else than a 'search 0' i can even determine automatically my search path in the file preferences..... cool, cool... thanx also alersito for your patcher.
