Saving Path for Collective
Hi
i'm making a collective for a friend. it's a sample player with pre-stored vst plugins.
i would like that upon opening the patch, a dialog pops out and he can select where all his sound folder and plugins are stored on this harddisk. then on re-opening the patch, all the stored paths are loaded. the dialog would only pop up again when the sound folder and plugin folder are removed.
any recommendation for a better way to do this, or any recommended externals i should look into?

Thanks. I'll look into pattrstorage to save the file path. how do i make pattrstorage to first load the file path then the rest of it's preset?
store path into text file,
read it on next app startup.
path to textfile should be users folder
to prevent privileges conflict.
like
~/Documents/mypath.txt
or similar maybe where app preferencesare stored.
DON'T try to use only name without absolute path.
That won't work.
