thispatcher in bpatcher does not report window size any more in max7

    hi there, here is a simple bpatcher file to demonstrate, that thispatcher refuses to answer on the "window getsize" message, when sitting inside a bpatcher. (which it perfectly did in max6) please tell me, if this is a bug or a wanted new behaviour. thanks klaus

      with 6 lines of javascript i am saved though ;)
      var w; function get() { w=this.patcher.wind; outlet(0,w.location[2]-w.location[0],w.location[3]-w.location[1]); }

      Klaus, thank you so much for this code! I noticed that, while it works, it doesn't output quite the same information that the original getsize message generates. I made some modifications so that you now get the exact same dimensions that you'd get from thispatcher

      ok, upon further testing, it looks like it's reporting the window size of the parent patch, not the actual bpatcher file itself

      What about this? function bang() { outlet(0, this.patcher.box.rect);}
