I might be a bit tired, but I don't find the presentation mode in max 5 runtime. Is it just not there or is it me ?

To have your patch open in Presentation mode,

you need to set that attribute [Open in Presentation] 

using the Patcher Inspector. Since one cannot edit

patches when using the Runtime, I'm not surprised to

discover you can't switch between Patching and

Anyways, in this case I am leaving a patch in an installation for some month, and before I leave it there I will fine tune some parameters (that are then saved in a txt file).

I did not want to bother putting these parameters in the presentation mode (in case someone might start playing with it) and I just leave the main controls, sound levels etc in the presentation.

I still need to get used to the presentation mode, I guess, and go for it, rather than try to stay in between ;)

What you describe makes sense. In that case, I'd take

the stuff I wanted to tweak and put it into a named

coll and *not* add it to the presentation layer and

just edit the coll as a text file while I tweaked it,

leaving my installation's hosts with a file I'd fine

But that's just me, and this is Max; there are a lot of

I'll be doing something in that line. It's no problem.

I'll probably just use max to tweak and then run the patch in the runtime version. 

There are just so many new things in max 5 that you just expect more and more and more :)

Yes, thanks,
