Stack Overflow and File Salvaging
supposing one were to create some kind of feedback loop initiated by a loadbang, causing max to crash whenever this file was opened, would there be a way for one to open this file and correct the problem or would this file best belong in the trash?
You can open the patch as text, find and delete the loadbang object and save the patch ;)
I think there is a keycommand to prevent loadbangs from fireing...
