Looking for anti-doofus pointers from the list. Kludgy, mostly working patch attached.

Big Picture - this patch is meant to pull a file-list of movies, format the text a bit, plug the big list into a COLL and dump out via OSC to name a bunch of buttons on Lemur running on a Ipad.

I think my issues are related to timing of bangs/not knowing the "proper" approach to doing this.

Here's what I got so far.... works ok-ish

1 - The last file in the filelist always winds up at the top of the list in the COLL.

2 - As the metro is running to populate the list, I notice that some of the grabbed filenames also change occasionally during each pass, so I am getting slightly inconsistent results...

3 - The "true" first file in the list get lost and never makes it into the COLL

There are lots ots of internal notes to show at what stage I am doing what. Could the gurus go over this and point me in the right direction??
