On my Windows 10 computer .maxpat files are associated with Max 8. Usually a double-click on a file will open it in Max. However I have patchers on a USB flash drive. Some open and some won't. The files are not corrupted because I can open them in a text editor (SublimeText) then copy all the data in the clipboard, and finally recreate each patcher from the clipboard in Max. However, this is quite tedious and often destroys some connections whenever a dependence (bpatcher, poly~) is involved.

The flash drive is formatted as an exFAT device. Could it be the issue? Or could it be linked to special characters in the filename? For some files, removing accented characters solves the issue, but for others it doesn't. However I don't understand why SublimeText opens the files but Max won't. Any idea????

Patchers won't open in Max but can be opened in a text editor - filename or storage device's file system issue?
