[PD] Install path assumptions for [soundfiler] vs [file glob]

Thanks Roman for the fabulous answer.

It doesn’t actually. It seems to work from wherever I am on my machine.

With that footnote, I was hopeful to get [file which] to give me the path of [media/] but no luck.

I’ve also tried to find a way to get [dir] from pdcontrol… I wondered if there was a way to get the path to a given object help, like in SuperCollider

FluidBufAmpGate.class.filenameSymbol

Anyway. Good to know that it is not me. Thanks again for the reply.
