Hello, I'm trying to build my application (.exe) I made with Max. My app is a patch maker interface with a library of modules I created.

When I want to save a patch I send a "writeas" message to thispatcher and the patch is save on disk.

But when I build my application this message don't work anymore.

There is something I missed with thispatcher object in standalone? Or this is a limitation?

Thank you max community to help me and have a nice day from Brussels.

I tried to look inside the oscillot program (by max for cats).

I'm not completly sure if I understand how it works but I think there is another system to save/load patches they use.

When a patch is build, all the informations about the patch (modules/connections/positions/params) are saved in a dict. When a patch is reloaded, the app open and read the script.

This is maybe a possibility, but if you guys have other ideas I want to read it!

this is an example of a script in oscillot.

this script is send to thispatcher to restore each bpatcher. But varnames are not saved in the script, I think is weird.

If there are no other solutions I wil create a script in my system, but is not easy for me I'm not familiar with the dict syntax.

        "source" : "InOut/Audio In",

        "position" :         {

            "coords" : [ 36, 62 ]

        "params" :         {

            "rect " : "0.0000 0.0000 125.0000 50.0000",

            "Volume " : "0.0000",

            "activate " : "0.0000"

        "connections" :         {

            "Merge 4-1 0" : "",

            "Merge 4-1 1" : "",

            "Audio Out 0" : "",

            "Audio Out 1" : ""
