HTML file not loaded via readfile message inside a jweb object because of missing path (until I unfreeze the device)
Hey there, I'm a Max for Live beginner, and I have a strange issue that I can't really understand.
In short:
I create a new Max project
I imported all the files into the Project's Inspector (see attached screenshot)
I consolidate the project
Then I exported the .amxd file via the Project's Inspector
Opened the .axmd file, and then froze and locked it before saving it again
Inside my patch, I have a jweb object that loads the .html file contained in the project itself via
readfile ../other/push-visualizer.html Now, the problem I’m having is that when I load the .amxd on my second laptop, the HTML file doesn’t load. After a few tests, I know for sure that there’s a path issue and the patch can’t find the HTML file.
What’s odd, though, is that as soon as I unfreeze the device, the files are copied:
~/Documents/Max 9/Max for Live Device/...If I then reload the .axmd, or click on the message box that loads the .html, it works as expected.
Is there a way to fix this issue so I can distribute the .axmd without asking the end user to unfreeze the device to make it work?
As mentioned over here: https://cycling74.com/forums/export-m4l-device-with-html-gui
You'll want to create an embedded search path folder like described in the node for max documentation. This will unpack the embedded search path folder to a temporary folder where it can be loaded by jweb. Don't have the folder managed in your project directly, but only as a search path.
Hope this helps!
