bug? function alt drag to set curve
in a m4l device I have function in a bpatcher. When trying to set the curve with alt drag nothing happens. The same function without bpatcher works fine. When opening in Max it gets stranger, alt drag over function opens the function help file.
Win11
can anyone test this
ALT+click in Edit mode opens the object's Help file. Does it work in a locked patcher?
I tried your patch, but both functions behave the same way: Holding ALT creates curves. This is with Max 9.1.4 in Live 12.4b16 and Max 9.0.10 in Live 12.3.7 (on Windows 11).
What Max and Live version are you using?
Is the example patch part of a greater patch?
Can you reproduce the problem if you paste the example patch in a new device?
function in max set to curve, locked patcher. with left click I can add points, but left click alt+drag on a line opens function help.
function (curve) in M4L Live works normal (alt+drag left click on line changes curve)
function (curve) in M4L Live in bpatcher, left click adds points, alt+left click drag on line doesnt do anything.
Max 9.1.4 Live 12.3.7,
"Is the example patch part of a greater patch?" Yes but it happens in this simple test patch too.
"Can you reproduce the problem if you paste the example patch in a new device?" Yes
The problem with opening the Help file is probably caused by the Max setting Options -> Help In Locked Patchers. When disabled, ALT+click to open Help only works in unlocked patchers.
That doesn't solve the problem in Live, though.
Do you see the double arrow cursor when you hover over a line segment?
"Options -> Help In Locked Patchers"
solved all problems, thanks Rivanni
