MIDI: unplugged devices on Windows appropriately disappear from MIDI options

I have issues with [chooser} when sending the message 

 (or changing the attributes accordingly in the inspector). The object doesn't display any file once I do that. The issue isn't sorted in 8.02.

Mappings is also very buggy now (but the outlines hidden for non-presentation objects in presentation view feature is awesome).

Thanks for the update!

@A.M. You will need to also set the @autopopulate attribute to 1 if you want to see anything there. You also might want to check out the @factorycontent attribute and the @prefix attribute.

As far as Mappings being buggy, please do send in a complete bug report with your issues to Support:

I checked everything you suggested and it still doesn't work I'm afraid.

Selecting a folder with audio files in it (.wav) doesn't show anything in the [chooser] object.

@BEN Thanks for your help!

Here's an example:

I'll send 2 bug reports with the issues.

Thanks for the update! Really glad to see the fixes implemented.

Curious to know if there's any update on the issues with node script integration in standalones. Does this patch address that issue or is it still being worked on?

Hi, 8.02 work much better in win10 than 8.01.

2 VST~ work good in Max, But it can plug on Standalone if the project is big.(console said can't find the plugin).

In my side, the feature for icon with standalone object don't work on mac (sierra) and windows 10. Without this standalone object feature, the script message "appicon" work on mac but not under windows.

Bravo for this update.

The patching performance is terrible for me, I have a very simple patch and even when it's not running, moving things around lags terribly. I'm on a Macbook Pro from 2018 with Mojave.

@ricardo I notice you have Layout Bubbles enabled in preferences (that window with the overlay of delta coordinates). This causes major slowdowns on recent versions of OS X which is why it is disabled by default. Let us know if disabling it in the preferences solves your problems. Thanks!

This is very useful information for me. Thank you!

@joshua thanks, since I haven't measure it comes down to my perception. I think it's better, but the whole canvas moving is still not smooth. I wonder if there are others sharing the same issue..

Here I am sharing you PC shooting game to download and play it.

Since 6.02 , the message "filetype" does not seem to work anymore. I no longer can load or save "txt" file with a "text" object! Also I often have some crash in the patcher since then.
