custom mxe64 + max for live patch requires full shutdown of Ableton to replace mxe64 file

Hello,
I am working on a custom mxe64 extension to be called from my MaxForLive patch. The problem I am running into is that as i'm developing the max extension, I am having to fully shutdown Ableton in order to copy over the file. Closing the M4L patch, removing the M4L patch, and closing the Live set does not release the file handle to the mxe64. Thus, I find myself shutting down and restart Ableton every time I need to recompile and put the new mxe64 in place.

Note: I'm running Live 10 with a patch created from the max-sdk-7.1.0\source\basics\ I have not updated to the latest SDK, yet, but I don't think this is the issue given it is a file handle being left open issue.

Is this known, and are there plans to fix it for the Max 8 release?

Thanks,
Brett
