max not saving files

Jess 's icon

Hello,

I am having a heck of a time saving my files. The save dialog opens every time I hit command s, even when the patch is already (supposedly) saved. Just lost a bunch of work, and I've looked in all my directories- nada.

Edit: this is about saving patches

This may happen if there is some loop that permanently updates/changes the patch. I remember a similar issue with a patch containing multiple live.observer in 'persistent' mode.

I see. But it opens the 'save' dialog every time even on very simple patches though, so I'm not sure what to change.

Are you sure saving in a directory/folder where you have *write* permission? If yes, maybe post an example patch here (Copy Compressed).

ok i think I figured it out.. there was a slash in the folder name (max/msp), i took the slash out and seems to be working so far.. hah
