I am trying to build a patch that lists the folders in the current folder. It's simple, it works... as long as I don't compile it. If I try to build it as an mxf file, it thinks it's running from the root of my hard drive and not from the folder where it is. Does anyone have any idea how to prevent that? I'm not allowed. I'm running on osx yosemite, and I opened the mxt file with max (it does the same thing with the runtime).
