Rebuilding Database

gweilo's icon

Since I installed Max 8 I cannot use the Reference system anymore. It says that Search is unavailable as Max is rebuilding the database. Restarting Max, rebooting nor leaving Max open for a very long time help.
Someone any idea?

If Max is rebuilding the database, you should wait until the rebuild has completed. Have you done that, or have you just restarted the minute you saw the error message? Last time that happened to me, I just waited and it worked fine (I needed the rebuild because I'd trashed my Preferences, etc.).

Yesterday I waited for 6 or 8 hours, I'd say that would be enough.
I just noticed that the search function of the file browser works fine (and very fast!), it's just the Reference search which complains.

Installing Max for the 3rd time solved the problem :-)

Brilliant upgrade btw, I can't believe how much faster everything is now!

Even after multiple uninstalls I'm still experiencing this issue, and can't use the search function at all. Has anyone figured out a direct fix for this issue?

I filed a bug report and after some investigating Cycling 74 sent me a new Node for Max package which solved my problem. I recommend you do the same. Cycling's support is pretty awesome :-)

I fixed the original poster's issue by having Max recreate the database a.k.a. file browser. You can do this by sending a message to Max. Make a message box and add "; max db.reset" and it might help.
