Hello,  
I am once again attempting to configure OSC Pilot on my main music computer I am running into two related issues.

Issue 1: I cannot scroll through MIDI devices. I am running the latest build.

Issue 2: When I disconnect MIDI devices so I can select the loopMIDI port I have created, it will only function for that session.  
Once I load OSC Pilot up again, the controls are where I put them with all the correct values, but the MIDI selection has been cleared and it no longer connects to loopMIDI and therefore will not connect to Ableton.  
I allow everything to load before attempting to start OSC Pilot, or Ableton.

Just a note - I was able to work around this by getting another computer, connecting it to the touch screen, and setting up the rtpMIDI software on both machines. I was able to set the MIDI device on that computer and for now, that is the work around. A whole second computer just to run OSC Pilot.

Malcolm,  
Just loaded up and tested. It is working!

Thank you for the fix!  
I will get this set up and test various scenarios this week. (I am a validation engineer for my day job, so I will try to look for anything that could be dev-relevant. )
