Trying to debug an external, so I restart Max 7 with new version every time.

When I tweak my test patch in M4L it will suddenly "freeze" it, copying current version of the external into the amxd file,

then I can't get rid of the damn thing until I create a new patch in Live.

I obviously want to use the most recent version of my external, from the place where I put it and where Max picks it up first time.

I found I can open new patch, load my external in a single object, then open the saved patch,

but that's still a bunch of keystrokes wasted every time I recompile and try again. :-/

Is there an option here or should I just feebly swear at Max all day?

How do you prevent M4L freezing external into a patch?
