Advanced Max: Standalones, Part 4
- Dan NigrinMar 14 2018 | 4:29 pmHi Tim - perhaps you want to mention using the appicon message in a standalone build script, rather than doing the manual file replacement tasks on both platforms that you show in the video?
- Elvis TitusMar 14 2018 | 6:41 pmTo take a screen shot you only need Command - Shift - 4 There's no need for the Ctrl :)
- Source AudioMar 16 2018 | 10:26 amNow that it's about Advanced Standalone stuff info time, I am wondering why do all externals first get packed into mxf file, and then on EACH app launch get extracted again into temporary directory . If the sense was to "preheat" the app so that it launches faster I would understand it, but all extracted externals get replaced every time.
- ben sonicApr 30 2018 | 2:53 pmI love this tutorial, is it possible to explain the proper way of interact with files and folders outside the app? I’m thinking of loading audio files (or other) to provide user interactivity, including saving the adjustments.
