[PD] console focus after soundfiler load

[Thomas O Fredericks]

The patch crashes my Pd. Tot (Toxy) has a tendency to do that :) Toxy
sometimes clashes with Gem and cyclone (I do not remember the details,
I just remember to stay away from it).

The pdmtl abstractions have multiple browser options. Here is one
pictured in the top portion of this page:
http://wiki.dataflow.ws/PdMtlAbstractions/Usage/Browsing

The pdmtl abstractions file browser can browse folders, display &
highlight  them, browse backwards, etc (like Yves [playlist] but for
all operating systems). It can store an unlimited number of entries
and is built with the externals found in Pd Extended.

The new version is coming out in a few days. But you can download the
old version here (grab a tarball of pdmtl):
