Hi All -
I feel I have a decent handle on technology, Beat Buddy Manager and more. However, for the life of me, I can’t figure out these two simple things!
I have a regular folder with a number of songs in it. How do I either change the folder to a .pbf to upload it or create a blank .pbf folder?
How do I rename a folder? When I double click, it gives me to option to change the “item name” but I can’t click the “OK” button to rename it.
I’m sure it’s something simple…or at least it should be!
When you say a “regular folder”, I assume you mean one that is just on your HD and not in BB manager. You can’t turn a regular folder into a pbf. Those get created by BBM. When you chose file>export>folder, the result is a pbf. To change the name of a folder in BBM, click on the folder’s name in BBM and enter a new name. Then click off that folder. Then File>Save Project. That keeps the new name in the BB Workspace. To get that on your card, you need to Synchronize or Export Project to SD card.

Yes - Folder on the Hard Drive thanks for clarifying
Folder renaming:
When I single click on the folder, it selects the folder. Once I single click again - nothing.
When I double click, it opens up a window with two lines: Item Name and Midi ID. I can type something in there but can’t click “OK” to save it. I can click “cancel” or the “X”. I’m unable to change any folder names.
Alright. Haven’t seen this, but try this. Just leave it as “new folder” if you can. Then add a song to it. Either via file> import song, or just new song and drop a midi part into the first main loop. Then save project. Then can you rename it? Can you rename one of your other folders, like just trying out or set list?
You could use the 1.66 beta. The name change process works in that one, but it doesn’t have the midi tags. Or, if you’re on PC, the 1.65 should do the trick. That’s the official release.
