MS-DOS beat?

[Manji]

I was making a track in FL studio right, when I save my beat, I accidently put a punctuation mark in the file name

So now I can't re-open the track in FL studio and when I opened up my project folder in "my computer" it reads as an MS-DOS file instead of a FL file

How can I revive that file. Cause man JOe that was a cold ass beat. One

u need to change the extension name to .flp

 

[Manji]

how do I do that?

I opened up properties and changed the name to illblood.flp but that seems to have no effect

Off topic... but damn, Manji, I LOVE your signature. That shit had me giggling. AND I NEVER fucking giggle.

[Manji]

yeah thanks this helps me

oh stop being grouchy.

grouch

right click on the file, then select rename. change it to something.flp
If that doesnt work, hold shift-and right click on it, then select "Open with..." open it with C:\Program Files\Image-Line\FLStudio5\fl.exe (or whatever your directory structure is)

if THAT doesn't work, just open FruityLoops and drag n' drop the song file into it.

left click the file hold it down for a sec or 2 and release, then rename with the flp extension.

Hey Maji what's up..


Within "Windows Explorer" you have the extenions of your files hidden, which is default and the reason you are having these problems. Open "Windows Explorer" and look at the top tabs: file, edit, view, favorites, tools, help. Click on "Tools" and then "Folder Options". From the Box that pops up you will see three tabs: general, view, file types. Click on "View" and about 9 boxes down you will see "Hide Extensions For Known File Types" and the box is checked. When you uncheck this box you will be able to go back and rename the file to "nameofsong.flp". Then go back and recheck the box.

This should fix your problem and you'll get that blazin beat back!

peace Maji
