If I delete a file either via file dialog or Windows explorer in my "clippings" folder Max5 will crash. The same thing happens when I save a file to that location. Strange!

Seems to be the same behavior as listed here:

do you have any sub-directories in your clippings folder? Clippings do not support sub-directories in the clippings folder and will cause a few different annoying problems if any are present.

Also, are you using any clippings with third party objects? If so, which ones?

Removing the subfolders indeed did alleviate the crashing error. Thank you. Glad that's done and dealt with.

However... In Max 4 I could have up to 9 folders in the clippings folder without any sort of problems. I could save to it, Max open, and it wouldn't crash.

But now you're saying folders are not allowed at all, which is kind of lame I think, even though I think I pretty much could live without having folders by prepending things with a pseudo-namespace type of deal.. like pluggo/windowsize.maxpat would become pluggo_windowsize.maxpat....

Anyways, curious about this. Does it have anything to do with the metadata harvester?

Here, EJ says the limit will be removed:
