Ok, the title of this post was dumbed down for efficiency's sake...

I am truly at a loss here...

Many times, for example...when a modify a help file and rename it(in the very same folder), I can´t find it when I use windows explorer via pure data...however, using windows explorer outside of pd, yes.

Vice versa, I have saved many versions of a project in a folder, now windows explorer does not see them, however, when I access explorer via pd, there the files are.

This is a problem that I only notice with pd, I have never seen anything like it before..

I must be missing something..

Any help or guidance would truly be appreciated.

Hmm, I never seen anything like this but here is a shot in the dark: given that Pd only shows files with the extension .pd, aren't you by any chance removing the extension when you are renaming the file? Because if so, then that would be a reason for they not to show.

Cheers,
Gilberto

@gsagostinho I just did a test....you are correct, I never add .pd when saving...

I saved a test file(that was previously unseen by explorer) with .pd and now explorer sees it! I need to keep testing but so far this is something...thxxxxxxx!

You're welcome!
