Hallo, Martin Peach hat gesagt: // Martin Peach wrote:

What folder were you working in when you create a new patch? What if there are no other patches open? What if there are many patches open in many different folders?
I usually open pd from inside ~/pd_patches and have subdirectories in there. If I make a new patch it's often interacting with another patch already in the same folder.
I do this as well and I think it would be *very irritating* if Pd would default to some directory different from the one I started Pd from. Btw: If I start Pd from the window manager, new patches automatically get saved to $HOME (because $HOME is the current working directory of the window manager and everything else after logging in), so there's no need to change anything on Linux.
Before, on Mac OS X at least, it defaulted to "/". I've changed that to "~", which I think is a lot more useful. Perhaps it could be like this:
- if no other patches open, then "~". - if other patches are open, then use the folder of the current top window
Yes, that's better, using "~" as default. And any new patch is most likely to be saved in the folder of the topmost already-open patch. And the default directory should also be a specifiable option in the preferences somewhere, not hard-coded, in the interest of total control.
How is it decided what's the topmost patch?
