On a max project max, Project settings > project inspector.

There is an option that reads: max for live device is read only

Can someone explain what this option actually do?

I can't seem to either understand it or find the difference between leaving it on or off.

"max-for-live-device-is-read-only"

as i understand it you just prevent the patch to be edited, as long as you have read only enabled. if you decide to change something again just turn it off again

I can export a m4l device with that option on, load it in live, and then open the max editor to make changes and save it.

yeah, I don't think so.

I'm still not sure what it stands for

I wonder if you have to freeze it and erase the source project. Like try renaming it so it can't find the source? just a guess.

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a "read-only" Max for Live device. I think this option doesn't do anything.

Hello there, i was looking at that option this morning, and it looks very strange Cycling74 team make an option that do nothing? i hope there is an human that write that option in the team to tell more about that option.
