I'm having difficulty managing project files. For instance I have a sub patch that I use in alot of devices, and I'd like to be able to optimise it for all the devices that use it as I go along, or at least replace files in a device with a newer version that I've been working on elsewhere . But the device will only load old versions of the sub patch that are saved with the project, even if i select a newer version to use. I can't work out how to load the newest version of the patch to the project, I can only edit the ones saved into the project.

Some devices don't seem to have their own project folder and I can't work out where their files are kept, but they must be somewhere because I can't replace them with newer versions, the device just pulls in old files from somewhere.

Also why are discarded files kept in the project, rather than being deleted?

Im guessing this has something to do with defining local and global files but I can't see any way to do that with a Max for Live project....
