Also, if I double click on the files on Nemo, they open without any problems -- the issue is only present when I use File > Open and select the files from within Purr-Data.
Do those filenames work in Pd Vanilla?

> And by the way, another small issue I had is that after removing Pd-l2Ork and installing Purr-Data, the update manager of my Linux distribution kept bothering me that a more recent version is available through the dr-graef's Pd-l2Ork PPA (which I previously had enabled). The version available for Pd-l2Ork is 20170108, so could this be caused because both flavours have the same package name pd-l2ork but 20170108 > 2.2.4 ? Anyway, I obviously removed that PPA from my list and the problem is gone, I just wanted to let you know about it in case some Linux distribution would have both Pd-l2Ork version 1.0 and version 2.0 (Purr-Data) available in the future, which would then give priority to the former.

Hm. I don't know much about PPAs so I'm not sure what to do about this one.

  Hi Gilberto, What's the filename that is causing the error?
  
  Also-- there's a 2.2.4 release, although I doubt it will fix this particular issue:

   Hi all,
 
 I have just installed Purr-Data version 2.2.3 on my 64-bit Linux and I am getting the following error when opening my patch: error: Asterism-patch.pd: read failed. The problem seems to be that Purr-Data cannot read a file if a directory contains unusual characters in its name such as commas or  quotes, something that I don't recall being a problem with Pd-l2Ork. Would anyone know why this is happening?
 
 Best wishes,
 Gilberto   _______________________________________________
