Data to clipboard

Ullstein's icon

Maybe I do not see it, but is there a way to copy data out of MAX directly into the MacOS clipboard, so that one could use the date by pasting it into another app?

Hi Source Audio, many thanks, unfortunately the shell object stays brown and does not even allow me to see the helpfile, there seems to be an object shell, because when I create a new object and type "shell" the list that opens shows a "shell"-object. Can you help? Im on MacOS 12.4 with Max 8.3.1

Thanks for your patience

Sorry, but you have to paste max console output showing any errors.
Did you download shell external ?
I have no link at hand, but you can google shell maxmsp github to get latest release.
If you have any patch named shell. rename it.

This is maxwindow response, I will google the object as you said... Thanks

you have multiple files in your search path with the name shell.mxo
using this file: Macintosh_HD:/Users/hanspeterkuhn1_1/Documents/Max 8/Library/3rdparty-externals/bernstein/shell.mxo
here are the other files with this name:
Macintosh_HD:/Users/hanspeterkuhn1_1/Documents/Max 8/Packages/Samplor/externals/shell.mxo
shell: could not load due to incorrect architecture

What a chaos …
you shoud be able to understand that clear message: multiple versions
at given paths and in addition wrong
architectute - means no M1 version.
delete both of them and download latest, that should do

Plewase apologize, but when I google as you say, I get hundreds of so.called repositories but not any download of a shell for maxmsp. I am not deep computer guy. I can use Max quite well, but I am not in the area where it is based. Can you give me a more direct advice to obtain this shell object? Thanks

Thanks, SOURCE AUDIO !!!! It works. Sorry, I am not really a programmer, I use Max fpor many things, just because it allows me to do so without being an IT specialist. Many thanks for your help and patience

You are welcome, it is actually not your fault when
package developers include other people's externals into own packages.
In your case it was that samplor package that caused troubles ...
Now on M1 machine, one should trash all uncompatible externals
and packages or at least try to update them
