@jamcultur @whale-av Well, [file cwd] looks like it only works with [file handle] Sorry

@whale-av Well it does seem to hold the selected directory for the current patch, but I admit it doesn't change the current system directory when, or after opening other patches or programs.

@jamcultur maybe this might help, [file cwd] will set the current working directory
The three directories contain the same named files, and the files have different text
I should point out that [file handle] is for binary files and is only used to quickly illustrate the file contents are different
select-directory-2.zip

@jamcultur Is possible to use openpanel?
see openpanel-help for modes: 0 file 1 directory 2 multiple files
directories.zip

@Glop-Glop you could use a data structure and scalar as a receiver for a click, that sits behind the array graph but still allows you to edit it and then a line object for a bit of a run-on to update the other array
array-update.pd

@Glop-Glop The errors are caused by not having a number for the y position in the array xlabel, therefore the label elements do not match
To fix: search using find for pd, this will show 1 of 2 sub patches [pd seq_temp resize] then find again for 2 of 2 sub patches [pd random_temp resize]. Open each sub patch and insert [list prepend 0] between the list object and [list prepend xlabel] in each sub patch as below

Edit: in fact -.1 is better for seq_temp and -4 for random_temp

@Orangery Yes, sorry about I hadn't tested it and the numberbox outlet was not connected to the [+ ] object, but worse than that was the random notes cause some notes hang when playing more than one note if playing polyphonically. The best I could come up with to address that, was to count the note-on and note-off and when sum was zero perform an all notes off (cc 123).
out-of-tune-3.pd

@Orangery try adding these

@dreamer I was just checking about the dsp when you posted, and you are right of course Thanks again

@dreamer Solved, updated plugdata to v0.93 and I think I needed dsp on to run the metro. Anyway thanks for great product
