Files

The Files panel lets you use virtual and linked files in a patch.

Use the Files panel from the sidebar.

Open the Files Panel

Press Ctrl/Cmd + B > Files.

Add Files

Add files in one of two ways:

• Drop into the file tree: Drag files from your system into the Files panel. Patchies adds them as linked files.
• Drop into the patcher: Drag files onto the canvas. Patchies creates virtual files in the patch.

Link Folders

Click the folder icon to link a local folder. Your patch can then read files in that folder.

Use a linked folder to load images, audio samples, or data files.

Note: You can link folders only in Chromium browsers.

Virtual Files

Patchies stores files dropped into the patcher as virtual files. The files stay in the patch when you save or share it.

Click the add link button to store a URL as a virtual file.

Use Files in Code

Use vfs.getUrl() to load files in an object. See Virtual Filesystem for details.
