I've got problems with .mxo external files.

After putting a mxo file into my externals folder, and opening a new window and typing the name of the mxo file, the object is remaining inactive. Into the help file of this mxo, the object is appearing as a bogus.

I've tried the solution with the Pkginfo txt file (iLaX????) into the Contents folder of the Package of the mxo file, with changing the extension name to .bundle and again to .mxo, but this doesn't work too and the problem remains.

max-fileformats.txt, and the line 'max system macintosh fileformat .mxo iLaF;' is well present.

the icon of the mxo file is well a max/msp'one (not a bundle's and not a subethaedit's ones)...

I know that there is a problem with recognizing .mxo file with 4.5.7 with PPC, but I hope there is now a solution to resolve this problem, without buying the 4.6 update :-(

4.6 is a free update for people who own 4.5. But for your mxo 

problem, do you have SubEthaEdit installed somewhere?

you're sure? I didn't find it on Cycling74 website and where I can download it...

ok, ok, I think that to download the 4.6.2 actual version and to replace my 4.5.7 must be the process. The 4.6.2 must recognize automatically my 4.5 registration (files into my own osX system, no?).

Hope this works, because I've got a lot of works for a next concert, and I don't want to lose my registration and all my actual works.... this 4.6.2 is a sure one? no problem and conflicts with osX 10.4?

If you've a concert soon, it's never recommended to change your setup 

(not specific to Max, it's a general advice with computer). I can't 

complain about 4.6.2 though, it works fine for many of us, and

If you've a concert soon, it's never recommended to change your setup

complain about 4.6.2 though, it works fine for many of us, and  
includes many improved features.

(example with the external shoutcast.mxo)

ok I did the upgrade to 4.6.2
and 've tried to open again a mxo file

ok sorry, I've now installed the LAME.framework stuff which must work with my example shoutcast~.mxo

it's done. I've installed the LAME package

if you contact Olaf Matthes with a clear bug report, he might be able  
to help.

it seems that it's not due only to shoutcast.mxo, all mxo externals I'm trying to open, are crashing max/MSP...

Does standart objects work? In order to slow down the traffic on the 

list, it would be cool if you could be more specific than "it crashes".

the other pre-installed mxo files into the Cycling74 externals folder works.

Do you have the same problem with the shoutcast~.mxo?

so maybe you're right.
actually, and at this time, only:
oggamp~.mxo
shoutcast~.mxo
pfol2~.mxo
are crashing...

I don't have Max 4.5.7 at hand right now but I always thought there 

Are you shure you downloaded the correct externals (i.e. for Max 4.5

I don't have Max 4.5.7 at hand right now but I always thought there  
were no mxo externals included...

Are you shure you downloaded the correct  externals (i.e. for Max 4.5  
PPC and not the UB stuff)?

but I've upgraded Max/MSP to 4.6.2 now...

I'm replacing '10.4 Max/msp 4.5' shoutcast package I've first downloaded (because I was under 4.5.7) by this one:

http://www.akustische-kunst.org/maxmsp/download/shoutcast%7E1.3test3-max4.6-intel.zip

I suppose this one works both MacIntel and PPC

and now it works! or at this time max/MSP is recognizing the shoutcast object as active, not as a bogus. I can now test it and play with.

uhhh, ti's difficult to think about differencies of versions between mxo objects' version (for 4.5 and 4.6) and the app versions (4.5.7 -> 4.6.2). It appears this seems to cause some problems of continuity and of compatibility between the versions

ok,
I didn't think about this trick...
