Right Click–> Paste From Only Has Vizzie Modules?!?

Hey All,

This is a new one. When I right click, and select Paste From, I use to get a bunch of options (i.e., jit.movie, Max For Live Abstractions, etc.). For some reason the only things available is Vizzie?!?

I tried updating my Max. No Fix. Did a delete of the app, then re-install. No luck.

Any suggestions? Maybe there’s a pref’s reset?

Mac OSX 10.8.5

Max 6.1.6

Thanks!

EDIT: I double checked the clippings folder. All the appropriate files are there. I event tried setting a File Search Pref to Max6.1/patches/clippings and did a restart. No luck :S

I have experienced similar behavior. Not sure what’s up with that.

Create a clippings folder inside of a new project in Max/Projects/ and throw your abstractions in there.

Documents/Max/Projects/newproject/clippings/

And restart Max..

I bet that’ll work.

@MetaMax,

I tried that and it didn’t work :(

It also would have been a strange workaround as I’m I would have had to copy the clippings for every new project I create?

Thanks anyways!

Wait.. Sorry. I mean to say packages.

Documents/Max/Packages/newpackage/clippings

This is the workaround I use and it’s not really noticeable once it’s set up.

Hope that helps…

Thanks! and I somehow missed this reply…but I fixed it another way!

I’m having other Max issues, so I deleted Max, deleted my preferences (i.e., Library/Application Support/Cycling74/) and did a complete reinstall. However, somehow the preferences still retained!!! I deleted the preferences and then they (actually) deleted. It fixed this issue along with some other issues (weird errors constantly being sent to Max Window).

Hope this helps others?!?
