Aug 30, 2017 at 20:50 comment added Izzy From your description I assume then you did that via mtp. It might be worth checking if, failing to open the files, the file manager writes something to the logs. To find out, you could take a look into our logging tag-wiki. You could also consult Settings › Apps on whether your file manager app received an update (if it has a button to "uninstall updates", you could try that and see if it helps; if it doesn't, you can always apply the update again).

Aug 30, 2017 at 18:44 comment added Eric Graves I hooked my pc to the tablet via usb and copy and pasted to the internal sd card, as always. I'm very curious what has maybe changed with permissions, maybe OS, maybe the File Manager app itself, overnight, with no interaction on my part.
Aug 30, 2017 at 10:06 comment added Izzy Didn't ask about editing permissions, just checking :) And by "via USB cable" you mean using MTP, or via ADB? By "root directory" you mean the root of your SD card, I assume. Internal or external (slight differences in permission management, hence the question)?
Aug 30, 2017 at 9:21 comment added Eric Graves The resident File Manager does not allow me to edit permissions, at least as far as I can tell. I copied the files over through a USB cable to the root directory, as I always have.

Aug 30, 2017 at 9:00 comment added Izzy Can that file manager show the file permissions? If so, please check what they are set to. Furthermore it might help to edit your question and include how you've copied those .txt files to your Android device.
