Pictslider Custom GUI with Standalone App

Hi there,

Got a couple questions about pictslider:

Firstly I'm struggling to change the UI element of the knob with an absolute directory path to a png image.. Any insight on how to do this properly?

Secondly I'm planning to package the max patch into a standalone application, and was wondering how and where the custom UI graphics are kept; are they packaged straight into the .app?

Any insight would be wicked.

Cheers!

Liam

place your png images in same folder as your patch.
When building standalone, you could include them in mxf
or simply copy them into resources folder.

absolute paths outside the search path only work while the patch is open and nothing is moved.

always put everything somewhere in the search path.
