Im trying to save my patch (which is a big one) and it's not saving any more. I save it and then when reopen it in the editor the changes I made are not there.

Is there some kind of limit in max 6 on the number of objects you can have?

limit-on-number-of-objects-max-6

I don't know what the limit is - I suspect it would be memory based. More likely than hitting an object limit is that you have accidentally saved the same patcher in two locations and are opening the wrong one. Do a search of your HD and see if you have two copies of the patch.

a limit of the size of a patch is highly unlikely - or at least, i do hope so !...

What leafcutter said.. I would also go to file -> 'list all externals and subpatcher files' and search for dupes of those as well. I have experienced similar problems because my main patch referred to duplicate objects. So even though the patch itself wasn't a duplicate, it didn't properly save changes. At least that's what seemed to be the trouble.

theoretically the file is logically broken. i would try to copy its content to a new patcher window and save that.

I upgraded to max 6.1.3 and now the problem is gone, not sure what it was, or whether I was just being stupid, thanks peeps for your help :)
