option.txt issues Live 10

Post by mellturbo » Tue Apr 10, 2018 3:10 am

Hi guys,

I'm using Live 10 now and my Mac is under High Sierra.
I wrote a file in TextEdit which I called option.txt with the same stuff I had on Live 9 (ShowDeviceSlot, and a few others) and it didn't work.
I tried to copy/paste the old option.txt (the one I was using for Live 9) and it worked ! Hourrah!
But now, I wanted to change something, the PluginAutoPopulateThreshold=-1, I wanted instead =32. I opened the .txt and wrote the new number....
And it doesn't work.

Anyone having the same issue ?

Thanxxxx

If you’re using Text Edit, make sure the content is plain text. There’s an option in the app ‘convert to plain text’ or something like that. Key command is something like shift-cmd-t

No, you called it Options.txt or this wouldn't work.

Anyway, I think I can verify a problem with this function. I get only any parameters if I use the values "-1" or "128". I get not even one when using any other value. Which is odd. Could be a bug.
Make some music!

Yes I called it OptionS.txt, and I noticed the same thing than you. Only -1 et 128 works, which is weird.
Doesn't matter ! Thanks a lot for answering :)
