Hi. I apologize in advance for requesting help with this very very basic issue. I haven't done any serious Max work in about a year and I'm very rusty.

I just got a new Mac and installed Max 5 right away. I opened one of my patches and in runs like a top. All good.

The problem I'm having is that every time I replace the sample in a buffer I have to start browsing at the top level of my Music folder. On my old computer, I would start browsing in the last location I opened a sample from - which is much more convenient if you want to use a bunch of samples from the same folder during a performance.

Obviously, there must be some incredibly simple way of changing this setting, either in Max or in Mac OS but I can't figure out how to do it or even find any help files that will tell me how to do it.

I apologize again for this incredibly entry level question. I'll get back up to speed soon. Promise.

Okay, here we go - it's a Mac OS issue. All I had to do was select the "view as list" icon in the Mac file browser, instead of "view as columns".

Forget I was ever here. I promise my next posting will be a really complex question about granular synthesis (and that I won't post so hastily in future).
