just

every time i open a newly created standalone, the frontwindow (as well as the contained subs) opens twice. first i thought of some scripting problems caused by the patch, but it turned out that this happens in any case, even with small testpatches. by searching the forum i found the comments on period characters in patchnames that can cause this effect, but this doesnt seems to be the point in this case

i am using max 5.0.8 on OSX 10.5.8 on a macbook, but a try with max 4.6.3 (on the same machine) shows the same result....

standalones-open-twice

the name of the patch was written in capital letters. this seems to be a bug. i guess the testpatches have shown the same results because i didn´t relaunch max after trying to get the capital letter version to run....

standalones open twice!?
