I'm working on a VJ Max4Live Device which works with images.

A folder containing PNGs can be droppend on a file drop zone. These images are read, scaled, cut and buffered in a [jit.matrixset] - this way images can changed during performance without latency.

I want a folder with example images to be included in the project (later the user can drop own images; saving all project and media data with the live set works well; the folder path is saved via a [pattr]/[pattrstorage]).

And I want these default images to be (automatically) loaded when the device is initially put into a live set - i.e. I want a device preloaded with my images and the posibillity for the user to use custom image sets later on.

So I added the images to the project (they got into the 'media' folder) and freezed it. After that I tried to load the resulting .amxd into a liveset but the images are not (pre-) loaded and I can't find where they are stored on disk!?

Is there a way to achieve the desired behaviour? Maybe can I initialize the [pattr] with a _relative_ folder path which links project internally to the provided media folder?

(I hope one can understand my question - since I'm not a native English speaker, I find it difficult to explain …)
