I tried to use an Options.txt as described for Live 9.
But in Live 11 ist seems it seems either the whole options.txt does not exist anymore or at least some lines/orders... are broken.
I´m mostly inmteressted in the LINE
-ShowDeviceSlots=1

I dont know in 11.3 it SEEMS dont work?

IF so, please, please do a Proof

I never understood why ist thisjust an so underrated option that youu need options.txt... for this... I guess 30-40% cry for such feauture as Regular????

This isn't a supported feature so no need to prove anything.
Ableton is aware that this is a popular feature request and is not ignoring it.
It's easy to imagine that "it's just this or that, it should be easy to implement" when you're in the user's seat, but the reality of developing and maintaining a software used by hundred thousands people many of which are using it live in front of audiences... is quite different.

From one of the developers in the centercode forum earlier today:

“The ShowDeviceSlots option had been shared around since numerous Live versions. We've been acknowledging that people want this as a proper feature, and it is in our backlog to implement in a solid way in a future version of Live.“

Until then, it’s an unsupported feature so use at your own risk.

That's reassuring

Bitwig has it but the fact that you can't open native device as a floating window i found it not very usefull ...I hope that if Ableton add this feature they will allow to open their device as a pop up from there...

I think this is a separate thing. You may want to post the request here: viewforum.php?f=3 or it will get lost.
