Check out the “Setting Up for the First Time” section which will give you the general idea.
This works best when you’re starting from scratch, like, with a brand new default project 2.1. If you already have made and saved edits to your project on the SD card, this is how I would go about tweaking the process.
- Start with having the BBMO 2 beta closed.
- Create a new folder on your desktop and name it after your project.
- Select and copy all of the files in your SD card and paste to your project on your new desktop folder (you can also drag the files from your card to the folder).
- Launch the BBMO beta and press Open Project; navigate to and select the project folder on your desktop; press Select; your project should open.
- From now on, this should become the default location from where you manage your project content; you will Sync to SD Card and you can also Sync to your backup SD cards.
Why does the error message happen in the first place? I’m kind of spitballin’ when I say I think it’s because there may be some slight latency between the BBMO beta accessing and then reading the content of your SD card. The latency may cause the BBMO beta to display that message; when you press OK, the BBMO 2 beta goes about its business of opening the project from the SD card (or the cloud). Now, on to the subject of “the cloud.” Some, but not all users have reported issues when managing projects saved on the cloud. The issues also seem to be latency-related and perhaps a little more severe in that project data is either not saved to the cloud or it’s incomplete. This was previously reported by some Apple users using iCloud instead of saving locally (to their desktops). The latency is further exacerbated when synching a project from the cloud to an SD card (which is slower than the speed of a hard drive or SSD). For this reason, I don’t save project data to iCloud.
Hopefully the developers are aware of the issue and will fine tune the BBMO 2 beta enroute to the official release of the BBMO 2.
Please let us know if you continue to have issues. Screen shots of any messages will be helpful as well.
