Problems with drumkits prior to 1.2
Hi, I tried the following with DB 1.2: - opened the Hemberger Kit - "saved as" Hemberger.dbkit in a new folder - a subfolder is created name Hemberger.dbkit which includes a Hemberger.dbkit file and a subfolder called Sounds which includes all the AIFF Files for the particular drums - opened a Song created in 1.1 / or any other song created with 1.2 - try to apply the new Hemberger kit (the file open box does not see the Hemberger.dbkit file although it's there) - reopened the Hemberger.dbkit file - all the drums had no AIFF file assigned (could not be found) - tried to assign the AIFF files manually - Message "unable to save document" How to proceed? Regards Thorsten

Hmm; the new folder (hemberger.dbkit) which you see should not appear as a folder, but rather as an opaque package (file). You're likely seeing it as a folder because you still have a copy of DB 1.1 kicking around on your system. Try deleting that, and logout/login, and see if it now works. Note the paragraph right above the "miscellaneous improvements" heading in <http://www.doggiebox.com/documentation/upgrading.html#1.2>

Yes, this is because you're not supposed to actually open that inner .dbkit file manually; Doggiebox should locate it by itself when you try to open the package. Try again with a logout/login after ensuring 1.2 is the only version accessible to your system, and that ought to cure all ills. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
