@xaverius in the preferences there is the option to save the zoom with the patch, so when you reopen the patch it is already zoomed. However each patch and subpatch needs to be zoomed before saving

@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).

@Orangery try adding these

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