Um. I think I got a bad piece of information on the list (I'll 

readily admit I was dumb to try it with out thinking about it.) I 

had suggested max install two Cycling '74 folders. one for the user 

and one for the manufacturer. That way no one would have to worry 

about updates screwing with your carefully balanced cycling folder.

Someone told me I could do this by entering it into "file 

preferences..." I tried it. it doesn't work. I don't know why it 

would. but I figured I'd dispel the rumor. the objects work but not 

ps. sorry I kind of abandoned my jslib. I totally bottomed out on

max.  I will get to it.

What are you saying... Sure it works ! The only thing you CANNOT move is 

the original / default c74/externals folder, but who cares ?!

Just point to what folder you want in "file preferences" and it will 

load any file (externals, js, java, help, patches, sounds, texts, 

videos,...) for they'll be in the max search path.

I know a friend who have the same Third Party folder since 10 (or more)

yeah, I have all my 3rd party externals located in e:/maxmsp/__path__/, works fer me, u n00b!

For the record, what I'm speaking about is setting up a second C74 

folder: in HD/Users/User/Library/App Support/Cycling '74. and 

I tried it when I got the original reply. I tried it again when I 

was 'corrected'. and I just tried it a third time when I was 

insulted. on my end, it works with many exceptions. Notably, much 

of my init stuff disappears. it's just not reliable on my machine.

sorry to be so persistent about this but the name calling is just

first of all, "u n00b!", to me is unacceptable behavior.(I've been 

called on it before, I'm returning the favor)

second of all I just made sure of this by setting it up for a third 

time. certain things on my computer just don't load when their parent 

folders are selected in file preferences.
