I'm a Windows user and I've just sent a small patch to a friend who works with a Mac. Something strange appears on his screen : all messages are striped and seems to be inactive (as shown in screenshot).

It's probably due to something very simple that I ignore but I don't have a Mac and I can't go further with this issue.

Hi everyone,
I'm a Windows user and I've just sent a small patch to a friend who works with a Mac. Something strange appears on his screen :

Can you post this part of the patch here, using Edit -> Copy compressed?

Of course, here it is ! It's a part of a test patch I used for my friend to try Miraweb possibilities.

Looks fine here on Mac. Check you friend is using Max 7...

Also, your friend should probably check the error messages printed in the Max Console. Here, no error message, as expected.

My friend is using Max 7 : Miraweb seems to work perfectly. I'm asking him about some console messages.

I did a small search on the web but found no correct answer. I didn't use a collective, just sent my friend a maxpat file. Could it be a question of compatibility between Windows and Mac OS or a 32-64 bits issue ?

Sounds/looks like he has a patch in his search path called "message"....

It seems unlikely because it was the very first time Max was installed on this computer. Then he just opened the patch.

The problem isn't really solved yet but I sent him the compressed copy of the patch and it worked perfectly. Strange, isn't it ?

Striped messages on a Mac ?
