I have one midi controller which I setted as abbrev d,

If I start max without the controller and then restart it with the controller, it doesn't remember the abbrev and goes automaticly to the default device.

Then I used (midiin d).

Max can't deal with live plugged external devices, be it Midi or Audio. Sometimes it seems it has learned it, but then the next version doesn't do it anymore.

Maybe it would be a good idea for c74 to put this into their general test scenarios? Restarting Max after changing the setup isn't very convenient...

With Midi at least it has to rescan the ports after you plugged it in. midiinfo is your object, and you'll forget about abbreviations...;-)

I didn't use these abbrevs since I guess 1998 anymore...
