Can anyone suggest a way to move a file in the user's filesystem
from within Pd without loading it into memory?</div>

My use case is that I am using [writesf~] to record audio to disk,
and I want to allow users to “save” the audio file to somewhere
else. Clearly the audio could be very large, so I want to avoid
using soundfiler to read into memory and then write back out again.
This is from an application that uses Pd as a backend so expecting
the user to manually move the file is not an option.</div>
