Hello, I'm trying to understand why Max For Live is having issues with the folder object. 

I have a simple "folder" object inside a M4L instrument. 

When opened in Max, it works fine. When opened in Ableton, "folder: no such object".

Is this a limitation of Max For Live or a bug?

m4l-folder-no-such-object

the strange thing is that is I create a new M4L device with a folder object in it, everything works fine.

even creating a new M4L device with a folder object doesn't work

but when I put the exact same device on my desktop, it works fine.

I'm getting really confused here, any help appreciated!! 

Hello, I am still getting the error message "folder: no such object" in all my M4L devices even after updating to Max 8.6.2 and Ableton Live 12. 

I'm on macOS 14.4.1 and I do see a folder.mxo in 

 > Contents > Resources >C74 > externals > max

Any idea of how I could make this super useful object work? 

M4L - folder: no such object
