I’ve added some reserved macros that can be used to choose cross platform standard locations when working with file based widgets. For example, if your install places samples in a directory call MySamples in a user Music folder on Mac, Windows, or Linux, you can get your combobox to load that folder by doing the following:
combobox bounds(100, 6, 86, 27), populate("*", “#USER_MUSIC_DIRECTORY/MySamples”)
Note these macros are only available in the Cabbage section. If you need to access these paths in the Csound orchestra, you the equivalent reserved channel.
Currently support macros:
`#USER_HOME_DIRECTORY` - retrieves the full path of the user’s home directory.
#USER_DESKTOP_DIRECTORY - retrieves the full path of the user’s Desktop directory.
#USER_MUSIC_DIRECTORY - retrieves the full path of the user’s Desktop directory.
#USER_APPLICATION_DATA_DIRECTORY - retrieves the full path of the user’s application directory. C:/Users/username/AppData on Windows, ~/Library on MacOS
#USER_DOCUMENTS_DIRECTORY - retrieves the full path of the user’s application directory
