The helpfile suggest that it is possible to both provide a filename and a duration as argument.

I can’t reproduce here with Max 5.0.5. What version are you using? Can you send along a simple example patch so that I can understand exactly what you are seeing?

Using 5.0.5, but I followed the instructions in the buffer~ reference which says that after the buffer name a filename can be provided. Like this:

It used to work like this, am I mistaken?

This is how it is in Max 4 as well; if the file is invalid, then the duration argument is not set. I’m not sure what can be done about this, but I will pass it along as a feature request.
