[PD] PD autoselects from a folder

[Ben Baker-Smith]

Patrick,

[folderpanel] is an object from the TOF library, which is included
with pd-extended but which I always have to add manually in the paths
menu (don't know why this is, my guess is: bug).

[$n 1] is short for [dollarg] from the iemlib (also included with
pd-extended). I'm not sure what the problem is with it, but it doesn't
always load for me either. In fact, I'm going to contact the list
about it now.

I fixed a couple things including replacing [$n 1] with [dollarg] and
correcting the output of the right outlet, and attached the new
version to this message.

To get it working you should just have to add the TOF library to your
paths and/or startup (I have it in both, don't remember which is
required), in order for it to recognize [folderpanel]. Hope that does
it.

-Ben

So far the only thing remotely like it I've found is [openpanel] which requires a user to choose.
