A.M.

I'm using [thispatcher]to output the path in order to use ut to open some files automatically, however it doesn't work when I build it into an application (the "path" message to "thispatcher" outputs a "/").

Any idea on how to solve this? Tried using absolutepath but doesn't work.

You could also ask if patch is running in Max or as runtime,

than use result 0 or 1 to either ask thispatcher to output path

You must first save the patcher for this to work

;
max sendapppath xxx

receive xxx will output standalone app path

Works so only in standalone or runtime.

Amazing!! That works. Thank you so much! 

Only issue is now the app shows the Max Console and can't get rid of it..

would remove it, but on Windows it is a bit more complicated.

 flag in standalone inspector is supposed to control that,

I usually delete all interfaces form the standalone, who needs that ?

Only dsp setup is needed, but I prefer to replace it with own one

usually loadbanging message :
;
max maxinwmenu 0  

would remove it, but on Windows it is a bit more complicated.
It also depends on max version.

Status Window Visible at Startup  flag in standalone inspector is supposed to control that,
but on windows one can't realy on that.
Tell me details on Max Version, OS etc
then I could post You some solutions.

I'm on both Mac (High Sierra) and PC (Windows 7). I had the 

disabled in standalone inspector but as you said it didn't work on Windows. The message worked!! Huge thanks.

So You don't have Status Window showing up in Windows Standalone Version ?

I usually had to do trickier things than just that message for it to work.

Which Max version are You using ?


No, now I don't! 8.02 (which has a few other bugs tho)

I mean I do run some tests, but keep working with older versions

Ok, thanks.
I don't use max 8 yet.
