Hey, is there a way to connect multiple outlets of one object to multiple inlets of another? I can't figure it out.
I couldn't work without this extension. So glad it's still working in Max 8

yes, you need to specify the number of connections you want to make. If I recall well, shift-n followed by the number of connections then shift-c

Hey all! I've been working on some improvements and fixes for the toolbox in Max8. This version is currently only supported for Max8 tho (because it uses the newly introduced node.script object). It is not yet merged with the main branch, but you can already give it a try here https://github.com/tmhglnd/maxtoolbox Bugreports are of course welcome. Some of the new features/improvements:
Improved object finding for connections (no object is left behind)
create a new empty object below selected and automatically connect (shift-\)
selected next/previous object (shift-s, shift-w)
send a bang to selected objects (shift-b)
use $ in @name to create ascending numbers in scriptingnames.
