It's not much of a problem so i post it here guys

Follow these steps: configuration -> editors
create new insert (*.txt), you will see arguments "$(Name)"
Delete the argument and choose Name in the menu on the rightside. Now you will see $(Name) without quotes.

After this open some txt files using the external editor. I found out that some txt files were blank in the external editor. If the arguments contain the quotes it seems to work fine.

I want to know if you guys can find some txt files displaying nothing.

The quotes must be there, because they prevent arguments with spaces (commonly used in spaces on Windows nowadays) from splitting (spaces are used to delimit the paraments).
Edit: And to answer your problem, why do the files open blank? They don't open because of a broken path, so a new file is "opened".

You are right, the txt files containing spaces didn't open.
It would be better to include the quotes when selecting it from the menu i mentioned.
