I don't know if this was ever addressed but it doesn't seem to work in 4.5.

It wasn't ever addressed. I would use "absolutepath" -> "prepend  
prefix" triggered by a loadbang.

I am trying to create folders for patches that are completely

self-contained. For example: a main patch with a subfolder for subpatches

and others that contain sound files, images or other media used by the

patch. This would work if Max searched subfolders but it does not seem to

do that so I was trying ./FX/ and the like in the folder slot of ubumenu.

Also, you could write [prepend set prefix] instead of using two

./FX/ with and without quotes returns "notfound" from absolute path.

I just use a simple javascript function for this (in this case to set 

* Set up file paths, mostly for loading icons later.

    if (max.isruntime) appFilePath = max.apppath;

        var tmp = this.patcher.filepath.split("/");

        //post("Filepath: "+ tmp + "n");

        tmp.pop(); //remove patcher name

            appFilePath += tmp[c] + "/";

    iconsFilePath = appFilePath + "textures/";

    outlet(0, "icons", iconsFilePath);

I just use a simple javascript function for this (in this case to set  
the path of my icons subdirectory):

var iconsFilePath = "";
var appFilePath = "";

/**
* Set up file paths, mostly for loading icons later.
*/
function loadbang()
{
	iconsFilePath = "";
	appFilePath = "";

	if (max.isruntime) appFilePath = max.apppath;
	else
	{
		var tmp = this.patcher.filepath.split("/");

		//if (debug == 1)
		//post("Filepath: "+  tmp + "n");

		for(var c=0; c
		{
			appFilePath += tmp[c] + "/";
		}
	}
	iconsFilePath = appFilePath + "textures/";
	outlet(0, "icons", iconsFilePath);
}

yeah. I was being verbose with the message boxes to make the point of  
different paths. Thanks
