Possible bug in live.thisdevice
May 18 2012 | 7:20 pm
I noticed for a while that sometimes live.thisdevice doesn't fire when I have edited my patch. So I always kept a bang in my interface while developing in case the thing doesn't initialize properly.
I think I now found when this happens.
live.thisdevice sends out a bang:
- yes : when you edit the patch and click the "preview mode" button again in live to exit edit mode
- no: when you just close the window in Max.
Sorry I have no time to make an example patch now. But I will do after the weekend if required.
The question is whether it's a bug or a feature:)

- Jun 01 2012 | 9:57 pmHi Andrew,I get it that makes perfect sense.My patch depends on send/receive pairs that are bound to a name derived from a liveapi query on loadbang,Sometimes after editing these connections are lost, and I need to manually bang the init sequence to get them communicating again. It doesn't happen often so I can't quite put my finger on it. I hope I can reproduce it in some way. It might be related to the liveapi/query and not so much the loadbang then.
