Some existing externals won't open in Max 8
I got upgrades for Max8 and am trying it out. I checked that it's running in 32-bit mode (at least according to GetInfo on my Mac)
However, the OSC-route object (and several objects that I compiled/built myself) will not load, complaining about wrong architecture. These objects load perfectly fine on Max7 (also in 32-bit mode) - see messages below. I realize that the OSC-route is from an older implementation but as I said, I'm seeing the same thing with some externals I compiled a year or two ago which also work fine on Max 7
Anyone know what's going on?

There is actually no 32bit mode for Max 8, which is 64bit only. Please update the CNMAT externals to use a 64bit version. I would highly recommend installing the latest version of those objects via the package manager and remove the old extgernals from your Max 8 search path.
OK - in that case, why, when I did GetInfo, did it have the checkbox enabled that says "Open in 32-bit mode"?
I guess I'll have to recompile my own externals as well....sigh
P.S. Thanks for the response
This is due to an overlooked item in the Application's info.plist. We'll solve this in a future version, and apologies for the confusion.
