jit.textfile bugged ?

hey,
it seems to me that jit.textfile is not working correctly. When i try to erase its content as it was previously filled with a matrix, it doesn't erase the content. When i uncheck then recheck "autoclear", sometime it clears the matrix, sometimes it doesn't.

I also don't get its behaviour:
If I
- open the helppatch of jit.textfile
- press "read dishes.mov, bang"
- doubleclick jit.textfile
-> the opening window is empty

if I "write" to file:
- either its empty (0kb)
- or looks like that in the resulting txt-file:

Both on Max 7.0.1 32bit Win764Bit and Max 7.0 OSX 10.9 32 bit. What I want to achieve:
Generate a textfile in another Software that can be read directly into jit.matrix, therefore I want to see how I have to format it

I also have the same problems as Tobias. I am running Max 7 on Yosemite.

Really, to be able to save a quicktime file as a .txt would be awesome. (I hope I am correct that this is what jit.textfile can be used for...)

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

just opened the helpfile again and discovered jit.fprint in the ?tab. that seems to work: you first need to write a file, then send a matrix / quicktimefile to it:
