[ddg] Possible to orphan Max patchers from Live?
Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2009 7:14 am
1. Add a Max MIDI Effect to a track.
2. Open it and edit it.
3. Switch back to Live without saving.
4. Delete the device being edited.
5. When/if asked if you want to save, hit "Don't Save".
6. Now switch back to Max and attempt to save the edited patcher from Max.
I've gotten at least three different results following these same steps. Sometimes it just closes the patcher when you choose not to save (as it should). Sometimes it leaves it open, but you can't save it anywhere (Save As does nothing). Sometimes it closes the patcher without even asking if you want to save.
I can't consistently repro this.
