I have 3 versions of a Boesendorfer fxp in October 2024 with file name.fxp,1 ,3 and,3. Right clicking as per the manual does nothing to restore the fxp. Do I need to rename the preset without the ,1, the last timed backup and can I rename the file as a whole to avoid any overwriting of a current preset? I am running a Mac with High Sierra 10.13.6.
You could try manually dragging them into the UI. I don't know if the right click approach is OS-specific or not.
If dragging them into the UI doesn't work, it's possible that they're corrupted in some way--though I doubt that.
I'd definitely try renaming them, as long as they have the fxp extension and a new name, that should mean the system can open them, and if that fails, you can try dragging them into the UI again with the new name.
Thanks for your reply. I copied one of the ,1 files to the desktop, renamed it and pasted it into the backup presets folder. I can open it in Pianoteq from "open with" and a preset appears with some characters missing in the preset name, for instance the 2 missing from the 280 but it is definitely not the back up preset which had a large number of very slight changes. I could drag it into Pianoteq with the same result. The preset does not appear in the drop down preset list - maybe a "new" preset needs to be saved to appear in the list - but sounds like a factory Boesendorfer preset. Incidentally, I have just spotted that all my presets in the Back Up folder have ,1 after fxp: the ,2,3, appear when multiple user presets have been created in a single day. Edit: the 2, 3, etc seems to stand for different versions of edits to a particular preset, whenever carried out.
