The problem is that I NEVER use the Max7 folder structure. I assumed that my patch would try to locate the text files within the 

 folder as the AMXD file. I have no idea why it's looking inside a Max7 folder.

I have a folder with my patches -- just my own custom organization.  From one of these folders, I am working on an AMXD file (Max4Live). It requires the use of a couple of text files. 

I have the path of these folders (w/ sub folders) included in the File Preferences. 

When I save my AMXD file it always performs a "Save as" which means I am prompted to choose a folder.  

When I run the patch it I get a warning about duplicate files in the console. 

The warning lists a Max7 file path where the duplicate file is located.

Here's more evidence of some confusing file/search path issues. Max is warning me of a duplicate file located in my trash bin. My trash bin is not included in my file preferences.

 files into the Max7 folder in Documents is a feature and not a bug. This was causing duplicate files.

However it does not resolve my problem but it partially helps. I think I gave up.

I received clarity from Cycling74 that forcing files into the Max7 folder in Documents is a feature and not a bug. This was causing duplicate files.
