f0.fold~ Abstraction fold values
fidget External fidget provides an interface to Phidgets – physical widgets, available from Phidgets Incorporated.
fidget provides an interface to Phidgets – physical widgets, available from Phidgets Incorporated. The fidget object uses a folder named ‘Phidgets’, located in the same folder as the Max program, to provide a collection of ‘plugins’ for device-specific behaviours.
filedate External Reports modification date of file
The filedate object takes the complete filepath of a file or folder and outputs the modification date.
filepath External Manage file searching, file path
The filepath object is used in the File Preferences patcher to report and change the various folders Max uses to look for files at certain times.
filesys Javaclass (mxj) Remove, copy or rename a file, check for existence of a file. Remove and create directories.
This Java class understands 5 messages:
- rm to delete a file or an empty folder;
- mv to move a file to a new destination or change its name.
- exists to to check the existence of a file.
- mkdir to create a new directory.
- cp to create a copy of a file.
filewatch External Notify Max of a file change.
The filewatch object reports when a file or folder -- specified by name (in the search path) or by complete path -- changes.
folder External List all the files of a certain type in a certain folder
Folder can fill a menu object with the names of files in a folder. You can specify the folder as an argument or by sending a symbol with the name in it. The forward-slash character / is used as a path delineator. An initial slash at the beginning of a path indicates the boot volume. The Max application folder is referred to by using period-slash (e.g.: "./max-help"). On Windows a path may be preceded by a drive letter (e.g.: "C:/Documents/joe/Desktop/phase_vocoder.pat").
folderiter External iterative file searching
fpic External Display an image file in a box
fpic is a user interface object which reads in an image file and displays the picture in a box. It behaves identically to pictures pasted into a patcher window with the Paste Picture command, but avoids the hassles of saving pictures into patcher files. To read in a new picture, you can either use the read or readany messages (shown below) or select the image file from the object's inspector (Get Info... in the Object menu). The object's box will not be resized after the file is read in, because some image files may have ridiculously sized boxes. By default the picture is always drawn at 100%. The name of the last image file read in and the current box size are saved in the patcher file, so the picture should read in automatically if the file is located in the same folder as the patcher or elsewhere in the search path.
max-look-up Abstraction Search tool ; starts your internet browser and searches for objects, keywords, etc... in the maxobjects.com database or in the max mail archive. Put this patch in your max patches\extras folder.

mkdir External folder creation
MySQLJDBC Javaclass (mxj)
works in Max 4.6 and above (including Max 5 & 6)


The MySQLJDBC MXJ object provides max with a simple interface to the MySQL Connector/J native Java driver that converts JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) calls into

INSTALLATION:
-------------
- If you haven't done so, Install MySQL and make sure it is running
(covering installing, using, and running MySQL is beyond the scope of this doc. Try a Google search or similar for more details on this. Some references are provided below)

- Download the MySQL Java Connector class from here:
http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/j/

For developers details on this jar and its use can be found here (also see the resources below):
http://dev.mysql.com/usingmysql/java/

- place the mysql-connector-java-X.X.X-bin.jar file in your /Applications/MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/java/lib/ folder (or whatever folder you may have defined as a classpath in your max.java.config.txt file found under /Applications/MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/java/)

NOTE: do not place it in a subfolder or else it will not work. In otherwords don't copy the entire distribution to the classpath, just the jar file.

- place the MySQLJDBC.class file in your /Applications/MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/java/classes/ folder

- Start max.

In the max window you should see something very similar to:
/Applications/MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/java/lib/mysql-connector-java.jar

The included help file provides some simple examples.

NOTE: The help file assumes you have already created a database called "maxmsp", with a user name "maxmspuser", and password "mathews".
