In Ableton Live (on both Mac and PC), when loading the pluggo with Auto-open Plugin windows set to ON, the patch is initialized correctly, with the pp parameter offseting the bpatcher contents correctly. If one switches the Auto-open Plugin windows to OFF however, and then manually opens the plugin window, the bpatcher’s contents are not offset correctly.

I’ve reproduced the problem in a very stripped down set of two patches below. The first is the main patch, which must be compiled to a Pluggo. The second is the bpatcher that is loaded, name it “text”. When the plugin is opened, the pp is supposed to set the text into the upper right corner of the bpatcher. When opened manually, you’ll see that it’s instead located in the lower right.

Any ideas on how to address this, such that the correct offset is applied when the plugin window is actually opened?

Thanks,
Dan

Great idea Tim…. but it didn’t work I’m afraid. :-(
