Sorry this might seem extremely banal but: every time I want to save a max patch it opens up a dialogue (as if to rename it) and then I need to save it and overwrite the same file. When I close it and open it up again, the changes have not been saved. Any idea why this happens? (I'm running Mac OS Big Sur with v. 8.1.1 and also happens with 8.2). How can I change this default behaviour?

it might be an issue with filerights or the patcher has buggy code - or maybe you opened the json in another texteditor or something. because "save" usually overwrites and only asks to create a new copy when the existing file failes to be overwritten.

try the same with a fresh patcher window and see what happens.

Thanks for the answer. The json option might be the cause (dealing with some pattrstorage). It's only working now after I've moved it out of its previous folder, for some reason.

it could be denied access to that folder,

or something in the path that causes problem

like some char not conform with path rules
