Does anyone know how to get an offscreen Max window back into visible
territory?  The usual Option+click doesn't work on the Max window like
it does on patch windows.

...either will bring your Max window back to the front or restore it from being minimized...is this what you were asking?

Alt-select the max window in Menu -> Window is probably what you're looking for.

While you're on multi-screen, you could just as well have a look at that old pending thread:

Oh um, I actually meant Alt-select the Max menu option.

Not exactly. My Max window is not minimized or in the back, it's in

the boondocks (i.e. way offscreen) and I need to get it back.

On OSX, the option-select thing is equivalent to alt-select. I've

tried this and it doesn't work unfortunately.

The position of the max window is saved with maxoptions.txt which is in

/Users/yourhome/Library/Preferences/Max 4.6 Preferences Folder/

There you should change the line with the message setmaxwindowsize to normal

The position of the max window is saved with maxoptions.txt which is in
/Users/yourhome/Library/Preferences/Max 4.6 Preferences Folder/

There you should change the line with the message setmaxwindowsize to normal
values, like this:
max setmaxwindowsize 50 50 600 600;

While pressing the Option key (aka Alt), select the "Max" menu command in the Window menu.

While pressing the Option key (aka Alt), select the "Max" menu command in the Window menu.
Set back the Max bounds to default.

Thanks you! I was wondering where this was stored. I didn't know

about /Library/Preferences. I seems that my Max window had 0 width.

This works for me too, on Mac OS X.4.8, also when the max window is offscreen (which might happen when you disconnect a monitor from a multiscreen setup). Strange that it doesn't work for you, wesley.

For some reason using a DVI->Composite adapter made my screen go black
and fragged all windows.  This is how the Max window got 0 width.  I
don't know why this happens but it does.

Did you try moving you computer 40 cm to the right or left to see if 
that makes the window show up again?
