Live.object annotations
I'm trying to get my annotations for my interface objects to appear in Ableton's "Info View" window, but the behavior is seemingly unpredictable. I can reliably see my annotation for a pictslider object, but my annotations for my live.objects (live.text, live.menu, live.number, live.tab, live.text) hardly ever appear.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

I find the annotation visibility sometimes doesn’t work if I’ve updated/saved the amxd file while the live set is open, but if I save and re-open the live set it is fine. However I use a slightly non-standard way of editing/saving my devices though so that may not be the same thing.
But more generally I have not found the live.* object annotations to behave worse than annotations on standard max objects.
Saving and reopening seems to do the trick. Thanks!

Care to elaborate? Just curious.
sure, I just never use the “edit” button in the device. I do all the coding in standalone Max and then export the device and copy that amxd over whichever amxd version is currently being used in Live (using shell/python scripts). Queries to the api while I’m developing don’t work, but it makes working with shared code/packages outside of a device’s project folder much cleaner (otherwise you get versioning/search path mayhem with the shared code).
cheers,
