js Folder / search path / projects issue

the js Folder object doesn't seem to include folders inside the current project as being part of the search path, is this a bug?

eg: i have in some js in my big patch that reads the contents of a 'songs' folder: var f = new Folder("songs"); very much like the examples in the help, etc.

the patch, and the songs folder, and the js and everything else are all inside the project folder. but the js only finds the songs folder if i ALSO put the project folder (or songs folder) into the max search path manually via the file preferences dialog. i was expecting not to have to do this?

if anyone has a workaround i'd love to hear it!

thanks
