[BUG?]Overwriting audio files on windows
Hello!
We are working on an audio installation for a couple of month now. An important part of t consists of writing Audio files to disk, and quite often overwriting them again to.
The patch has been created on a Mac machine an is working fine. When we migrated it to a windows machine(the machin the patch will ultimately be running on) we encountered a big problem.
It does not seem to be possible to overwrite files on a windows 7 or windows 8 (both tested) machine using max 6.1.2 or 6.1
We did not test any other versions for now.
Any idea?
Known bug?
A workaround idea i would need some little help with is of course deleting the audio fille and writing a new one. Does anybody have an ide how to delet an audio file from disk?
thanks very much!
ps: i was very tempted to use the title Xtremely urgent pleeasse help…we have to finish this soon..

Thank you Patrick, yes, that’s what we are implementing at the moment.. of curse some work, but anyway a big help, really great!
I can now say that on Max 6.0.8 we are having the same problems too. Is this a known issue? Are we doing something wrong?

never had his problem. check if any user right management stuff prevents you from overwriting. but strange if you are allowed to write but not to change a file.. can you overwrite a saved textfile?
try another location for saving the files.
there are more ways of deleting a file on win. you can create and save a .bat file ([text] object) and execute it with max (message to max is “;max launchbrowser “. the batch file can delete itself if you add “%0″ for the last line. and doing it with C should be pretty easy too. just in case you don’t like the java solution.
