beside hating the new over-antialiased look and loving (most of) the new features, i am missing something:

with normal objects, you can click on an inlet, and you will be represented a list with the available attributes. there you can choose one and a message box gets automatically created, a function which i really find handy.

but: with java externals this doesn’t seem to work – you won’t even see the exposed attributes (which was working in max4)?

hm, i am little disappointed that there are no replies to this (ben?), as there is obviously a function missing, that was working before.

btw: what do you mean with the todo list?

Tomorrow is Labour Day. I hope c74 will have a day off ;)

rest of max had attributes.
they were based on the notion of jitter attributes but implemented
separately. the mxj attribute
system wasn’t brought up to date during the max5 overhaul so can’t
take advantage of this stuff.
once it is is line it will be able to. i have no idea whether this
will happen or not.

ok, so i keep waiting ;-)…

ps: please (while talking about todos), add a “anti-alias 0″ option to the interface – i can’t find a proper font and size setting that makes economical use of the screensize and won’t give me a headache after a couple of minutes of working with max…

cheers
