Would it be possible to have types as an argument of the folder object, for example [folder @types WAVE AIFF]

Please ignore.
Old style arguments do it perfectly.
I'm now so used with @ttributes...

I just tried your patch but the umenu shows also a non AIFF WAV type (see attached pict). Is this a bug or did I miss something?

Did you trigger the [loadbang]? It won't fire automatically when you copy the text from the forum, only when you save and re-open the patch.

It seems like folder also passes invisible files done the good ol'  
Unix way (leading dot in the filename.)

I don't think that this has anything to do with passing in multiple  
types in one types message.

I can't seem to reproduce here. Here, no dot files are shown when I set a file type.

Out of curiosity, do you have the showdotfiles attribute set to 0?

you can do this in umenu's inspector, or send a 'showdotfiles 0' message to umenu. However, I believe that showdotfiles are set to 0 by default, so if you didn't set it in the first place, then something else is wrong.

Do all dot files get listed? Is there a particular file that gets listed?

I assume you are using Max 5.0.5? What platform/OS?

What might be worth mentioning, is that to reproduce this based on the 

screenshot Ole posted, I took one of the wave files in my test 

so in my test folder included .myWave.wav, which was a valid wave 

file. Ole's test looks like it found a non-wave .file, though.

No, of umenu. Sorry, did not read close enough that this was about [folder], not umenu.

I have sent a message with "AIFF, WAV" to the folder object and the only file beside aiffs and wavs is that invisible timemachine file that is listed. showdotfiles in the inspector is unchecked.

I have sent a message with "AIFF, WAV" to the folder object and the only file beside aiffs and wavs is that invisible timemachine file that is listed. showdotfiles in the inspector is unchecked.
Im am on Mac OS 10.5.6 using Max 5.0.5

there is some confusion now with folder and umenu, but anyway, as far as I understand, the file starting with a dot should not be shown in the umenu or did I missunderstood something?

[umenu] also seems to have stopped following aliases, as the [ubumenu] used to do.

sorry for the noise, when I choose "AIFF" and "WAV" filetypes in the umenu, there is no dot file shown...

I'am afraid I don't understand the whole sense of the folder object.

i think its nowhere documented but it should work like the dropfile object and support up to 64 types all written into one list

Feature request : folder @types ...
