Shape of Address field

[James Sentman]

Are you using a DIY interface? If so, and all the requests are in the apple script in XTension and not down a port anywhere then you don’t even have to enable the interface. All the scripts will continue to run without the interface enabled, it just won’t be trying to send any commands down a serial port which is where you’re hitting those errors.

The best solution would be to wrap it into a “real” plugin using the new API. I’ve done several of those for folks doing way custom stuff now. Let me know more about how you’re actually working this out off the list and we’ll figure out how best to make it happen.
