Problems saving/loading .fti files Posted: 2010-02-26 06:12 Reply | Quote

I'm having trouble saving and loading instrument files. Whenever I click the save instrument button a "Save As" dialog appears, but when I click "Save" the file doesn't actually get created. When I try load an .fti file I get a "*filename*.fti was not found" error message.

I just recently started using FamiTracker, so maybe it's a beginner's mistake on my part, but so far it seems like the save/load .fti buttons aren't working. Anyone else have the same problem?

You have to manually input '.fti' when you save an instrument. For some unknown reasons, FamiTracker does not add the '.fti' to the filename.

Example: You want to save an instrument called '25 Lead', then you have to enter '25 Lead.fti' instead of '25 Lead'. Even you forget to add '.fti' it doesn't mean that instrument is unusable, simply rename it by adding '.fti'.

Hope this helps. Maybe not even the file without '.fti' is not created, I'm unsure whether it'll happen...

There is a problem with instrument path names when using the current version (0.3.0) in windows vista/windows 7 (but it did work in win XP). Because of that, instrument files are stored in the same directory as the program file regardless of the path, and files can also only be loaded from that directory.

I have fixed this and will work in the next update.

Yep, that's what it was. I'm using Windows Vista, and all saving/loading .fti files works from the same folder as the .exe file. Thanks!

jsr, i think the problem is when you have an OLD FTM and want to save a fti file with the lasted version.
For example i have few FTM that come from the version 0.2.9 and 0.2.8 and i wanted to save teh fti files, but if i try it with the lasted version, it start the problems, but if i save the fti on the version that the file was created (0.2X or whatever), then i got no error.
Hope that help...
