The device now offers a little browser window to select any subfolder to be included. This is a huge step forward in terms of usability. Select a group of subfolders from totally different locations to form the basis for the random selection. Furthermore countless improvements under the hood. The result is a faster loading device that uses less resources.

Oh, Max 7 is now required because of one main reason. Max 7 comes with a newer SQLite version that allows recursive queries. For example to find all subfolders of a folder with unknown and unlimited search depth in the database.

Over years I was convinced that a m4l device's audiofile is not taken into account when you "collect all and save" to make a Live project portable. That's simply wrong. The live.drop object makes this possible and is of course now implemented into the Random Simpler.  

Please check out the further changes and have fun.         

• Random Simpler

The first update after an initial release is always important. Thanks to all who helped me out with reports and suggestions. 

what else: I fixed a bug of the 11clicks object related to screen coordinates on systems with 2 or more screens. 

• Random Simpler

{jcomments off}It was a matter of finding a way to create the links with applescript, the other parts of the device translated very well to Mac. The users Library folder, where you find Live's database, is hidden by default but I added a "auto detect" button to make that easier. 

• Random Sample Picker 

I made this a year ago to regularly remind me to save the current project. I used a very unstable development environment at this time and often lost hours of work due to a crash.

Now someone told me he uses it to prevent him from getting stuck in unproductive operations while making music.

However, there seemed to be a bug while loading the settings of the device. I tried to fix it and added some features. Tell me if that was not successful.
