[maxmsp] Buffer~, problem with path and external HD

Hi

You have to manually convert "Macintosh HD:/volumes/peiman 120 GB/" to 
"peiman 120 GB:/".
It's easier directly in the java file.
Something like this :

    public String conform(String s)
    {
        if (s.indexOf("/Volumes/") != -1)
        {
            s = s.substring(s.indexOf("Volumes") + 8);
            int ind = s.indexOf("/");
            s = s.substring(0, ind) + ":" + s.substring(ind);
        }
        return s;
    }

It should also be possible to do it with standard max objects.
