I have a question about Collections in the context of M4L.

I have started a Collection for MIDI Files within the file browser. Currently, M4L seems unable to access user created Collections. A read message with the file name requires the user to manually direct Max to the target object.

However, if that same MIDI file is placed within the C74:/help/max, M4L is then able to successfully utilize the file with the (read (name)) message.

Why don't Collections work within the context of M4L? Perhaps I am misunderstanding their purpose.

I'm not entirely clear what's going wrong based on your description. Could you please provide some additional information, maybe some screenshots or a device and some instructions for reproducing the problem? Are you saying that files which are in Max's search path in the editor can't be found from Live?

Thanks for filling in some details
