6l20

I want to do something extremely simple, just use direct window mode with jit.qt.grab. Patch cannot be more simple : jit.qt.grab object, named jit.window with noaccel set to 1, and a message box "window xxx" to the jit.qt. grab (xxx being the name of the jit.window).

Does not work at all with Max 6.0.8 : I always get the message "could not attach to window xxx" from the jit.qt.grab object.

I really doubt this is a programming error as there is no programming at all...

I am surely missing something here, but what ?

Hi all.
I want to do something extremely simple, just use direct window mode with jit.qt.grab. Patch cannot be more simple : jit.qt.grab object, named jit.window with noaccel set to 1, and a message box "window xxx" to the jit.qt. grab (xxx being the name of the jit.window).
Works as expected with Max 5.1.9
Does not work at all with Max 6.0.8 : I always get the message "could not attach to window xxx" from the jit.qt.grab object.

Thanks for your help


direct-window-max-6-issue

the following patch works fine over here on 6.0.8 and 6.1.1

if this doesn't work for you, please post your relevant system specs.

btw. your example does not have a jit.qt.grab object

using  max 6.0.8 on different macs
- mbp with mac os10.6.8
- mac pro with   mac os10.8.3

ahh yes, i mistakenly read qt.movie not qt.grab.

as of 6.1.3, direct-to-window is once again working for the 32 bit version of jit.qt.grab.
