Hi,
first of all, great piece of software, thanks for making it available :)

ok, there is a little issue with opening existing .gnural files (like the presets) and editing files.

This is probably due to the changes in how Windows handles files in the "/program files" folders.

The files are not actually saved in the same folder as the program, instead they are saved in the "C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Gnaural" (which is a hidden folder)

This means that when trying to edit the XML file Gnaural cannot actually find it and it asks to create a new one. Unfortunately it is also unable to save the file it offers to create unless it is started with admin permissions.

However, when you want to open a file created within the program, it will list it as long as you browse to it from within gnaural

Additionally Gnaural will not load presets unless they are either saved in the "/program files(86)/Gnaural" or in the folder I detailed above.

This is not a big problem for me, as I have now found where the files are saved (it took me a little while :)), but I thought you may want to know in case some users cannot find the files they create, and/or have issues loading preset files

I hope it all makes sense, don't hesitate to get in touch if you want more details :)

All the best
Angelo
