save / save as

Since last max update "save" acts like "save as". everytime I save I have the dialog asking me to choose name and location for the file. I don't remember having changing anything in my preferences, any explanation for that ?

try that with new empty patch, store it initially into some

location you are sure about having write access to.

It seems that it behave normally when saving a new empty patch

maybe you have something like pattrstorage in patches that missbehave which then causes that

Yes, there is a pattrstorage. It has parameter mode enabled for it to save its data within live set in m4l. I am saving in a folder located in my iCloud drive. Saving max patch in icloud drive behaves normally so it may be this pattrstorage data that causes this systematic “save as” behavior….

I think that is so

OK, thank you ! do you see a way to avoid this behavior?

... way to avoid this behavior?

  • use different storage system ?

  • change pattrstorage parameters ?

if you store into live set, then it does not need to store xml or json file to disk itself, or ?
