Full screen problem: patch window location in Max 8.5.4
I have been controlling my visuals using the window size message to thispatcher to view my patches in full screen. I don't use the normal fullscreen message because it creates a new desktop element, and then I can't automate from a ableton which desktop i show in my live performances (using mission control shortcuts to change to a specified desktop on second monitor for example).
here's the method I've been using
I'm not sure why, but it does not work anymore
I'm testing it on live 11.2.11 using max 8.5.4 (i'm a m4L user)
When you try to locate a patch window exactly on the upper left window of the screen (0 0 screenX screenY) it does not work, the patch locates itself always showing the menu and window elements so the patch content is not situated exactly as the coordinates try...
Does anyone knows why? am I missing something obvious? (it's been some months since I used the code)
thanks
OK, it must be a change in max
with live 11.2.11 using max 8.5.4 or package max version don't work
with live 11.2.11 using max 8.3.1 it works
Does any one knows the reason behind this change in window patch location possibilities?
thanks for the clear patch. I can reproduce the unexpected behavior with Max 8.5. We will ticket and investigate a fix.
Thanks!
I understand that changing the window coordinates can move the windows sometimes outside the user control, but regarding the full screen options i think it's a great feature as you can see, compared to the normal "fullscreen $1" option
As of 8.5.6 this situation should be fixed, please give it a look and let us know.
Hello, sorry for the delay...
I've just tested in m4L with 8.5.6 and live 11.2.11 and works perfect!
thanks
