has anyone ever had this problem? (on windows)

I'm trying to open a .txt or .md with max launchbrowser, and it doesn't work. No error message in the console, nothing happens.

It doesn't matter in which directory are the files. txt or. md. They are normaly assigned to "open with" notepad application.

On the other hand, I can open png, or pdf.... from everywhere. no issue.

another thing weird: it's when i try to open it, it opens a notepad instance under the task Max(64bits). Anytime i do it. Without diplaying anything.

Are you trying to ask Launchbrowser to open the text file with the Notes app? If so, you may need to launch the notes app and add the name of the text file to open as an argument after the pathname for the notes app.

Really? i didnt know that. Is that specific to windows? and to txt file? because on mac, max would just open with the file path, and other file in windows will just open normally as well.

Launchbrowser is really only designed to open web pages in a browser so the fact that it does anything else is a bonus! And we all know how quirky Windows can be! Maybe try using 

https://github.com/jeremybernstein/shell/releases/tag/1.0b3

 basically does the same thing as typing a command line into the Windows/Mac Shell or PowerShell and it will output any responses too.

I mostly work on mac os for devs, and wasnt aware of difference with max launchbrowser. For all other file format it works as mac, but still cant get why txt or md is different. Anyways. thx.
