Can you provide an example patch of this?  What are the details of [folder]?

Try removing the 'motion' messages, the 'mouseup' message should be enough to register a click.  Otherwise, can you post an example patch?

You can still use -path command line flags, or manually edit the registry to add global paths in the old style.  Or you can open up File -> Message... and enter:

pd start-path-dialog

Or in a patch: [;pd start-path-dialog(
