I'm using Max/MSP 4.6, in Windows XP, running on a MacBookPro under BootCamp.

In general things are working well, but when I create Timeline files, as often as not they don't reopen. I'm not getting an error message, they just don't open. If I drag a file into the Max window, it just doesn't show up.

I looked through the forum, but didn't see a reference to this. Is this a known bug, or am I somehow saving them incorrectly?

Maybe you can find a solution without using [timeline] at all...

I'm a new user, but do notice that a number of people have complained of bugs in Timeline (just not the problem I'm having). It will certainly save me time to know to stay away from it.

Is the best idea to avoid Timeline?

Oh - then stay away from it, in my opinion. If you want to trigger

events, I'd go with something that uses pattr and some mechanism

for timing and triggering events. There are several options - this one
