Emi - last ever log (hopefully)

Quiet day at work so I brought my laptop... Since Max has completely given up ((crashes whenever having to save)) I'll go back to the prototype patch and work from there. There is no other choice since it crashes whenever we save the patch, even on the uni's more powerful computers (in mixing 2) with the 3x4 core PCI-e processors - obviously Max MSP doesn't like museums.

Anyway, I'll be working from the patch that was made on the 4th - meaning that this and last weeks work was for nothing. Since I remember what changes I made since then it'll be easy (easier) to re-edit.

A big problem I’m having is that when taking out a subpatch from the main folder, to edit the main patch (because it’s less likely to crash when it loads the project without subpatches), is that the <bpatcher> doesn’t remember how many inlets/outlets the <bpatcher> has.
For example: I’m having to take out subpatch X to edit Main patch Y, then the <bpatcher> in Y looses the in/outlet -connections because it’s not actively linked to a subpatch and I have to relink them all over again.

This is especially problematic with the Quiz Subpatch because it has some 15 screens.

  1. Hi. Hoping the info I gave you in the emails is useful. Unfortunately, going back to the original prototype patch and working from there seems to be the only way to identify where the bug is. Make sure you save lots of different versions during the process so you don't have to go back to the drawing board again!
