Freak_Out

Hi everyone. I've been using Max 5 for a couple of weeks now

and i recently noticed a stressing issue with the jit.textfile

object. I basically tried a thing which worked fine in my old Max 4.6: sent a message to read a textfile into jit.textfile (e.g., "read wordlist.txt") directly, instead of popping up the openfile dialog by just sending the "read" message. Well, it doesn't work. it just keeps giving me a really frustrating "jit.textfile - error -1 opening file" message. I tried everything, checked everything - file is there, file is fine, no errors in connecting or whatever, as i said the same procedure in Max 4.6 goes fine. Nothing.

BTW, the "text" object works instead, so i assume it's a specific issue concerning jit.textfile. Alas, i really need to do this stuff in my patch. Any hints/help/whatever would be really, really appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the report. We'll look into it.

i have the same problem, in loading a read command jit.textfile (e.g., "read wordlist.txt") and i get the same error as freak_out.

is there any fits or work arounds?

This has been fixed for the 5.0.6 release (soon).
