Error: newobj: coll: No such object

Hi, yesterday I opened a patcher I was working on, and suddenly all the coll objects I was using are being flagged as invalid objects in the console window. Same thing happened when I create a new coll object to test with.

I tried restarting max and next time I opened the patch the coll objects were recognized.

However, I started the patcher again today and the coll objects through an error again. Any idea what might be causing this? I can do a temporary fix by restarting max, but this isn't very ideal.

It could be that you have some patcher named coll in max search path.
Or in some projet's search path

That was it. There was a file named coll.txt in the search path. Removed that and the issue was fixed. Thanks!
