[MAX5] buildcollective

ingo's icon

hi all.

i have troubles sending buildcollective to max5, it drops the error:
buildcollective: location test.mxf does not exist

thats what i pass to max (worked fine in max4.6):

1.
;
max openfile thefile patch.maxpat

2.
;
max buildcollective thefile test.mxf

i also tried to use an absolute path for the output-file... same error.

whats wrong there?
thanks for help.

again...

figured out that the buildcollective-message works without passing an outfile.
here is a test-situation for the buildcollective issue:

this is just some patch (save it as apatch.maxpat):

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

here is the patch to build a collective with the buildcollective-message to max (save it in the same folder than the apatch-file):

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

can anybody verify this problem?

tested here on: max5.0.2
ppc-mac: os 10.4.11

thx

I can confirm. MBP 2.16, 10.5.3, build 35560. I get this error:

buildcollective: location test.mxf does not exist

Specifying a filepath for test.mxf doesn't improve things.

Thanks for catching this. I can reproduce, we will be taking a look at it.
