max-6-0-4-released

And the bug where I couldn't put #1 #2 inside a dac~ is fixed too!

I love that you guys release updates often.

this update also fixed a bug for the latest version of lion right? I read that there was one so hadn't update my OS yet just incase....

http://67.23.3.6https://cycling74.com/forums/join-inlet-1-strangeness-look-before-you-replace-all-your-pack-objects

I can still not scroll vertical in a patch with the mousewheel if i'm dragging an object or a selection-frame at the same time.

and is that intended, that since ver 6 i see very simplified scrollbar-design in patches? the strange thing is that i see normal system default scrollbars in the max docu. (see pic)

i can not change the scrollbar colors(because there is no way to set it). the scrollbar-background will always be white no matter if it fits to the patchdesign or not.. in max 5 the scrollbar-background adopted the bgcolor of the patcher.

Please, i don't want to start hacking my own scrollbars together, especially because apart from that they're working very well.

hello, [join] is still buggy. http://67.23.3.6https://cycling74.com/forums/join-inlet-1-strangeness-look-before-you-replace-all-your-pack-objects

O.

sorry, i'm win 7 user. that's maybe important to know.

The join issue was never brought to our attention. I've ticketed it to be looked at.

The scrollbar issues you see is simply a limitation of scrollbars in Max at this time.

The join issue was never brought to our attention.  I've ticketed it to be looked at.

I'm working on a patch aswell and I would like to change this color aswell and making a custom scrollbar is a big pain.

@Ben something about spanish help in the future? Maybe for 2018? (^_^)

"• audio: hot-swap devices without needing to restart Max"

does this mean that if my firewire audio interface gets unplugged on stage, i can reconnect it without restarting Max? Similar to how Logic and Mainstage behave? If so, that would be huge. Mac OS X 10.6.8, MOTU Ultralite…

sweet [good to see you over here too dtr :) ]
