Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] [linuxsampler-devel] Re-saving file as gig v3?

[Andrew C <cou...@gm...>]

I think I've found a bug with gigedit:

I change the file from gigastudio v2 to gigastudio v3, save and then
re-open the file, but the 'properties' combo box is still set to V2, and I
get the warning when trying to combine instruments.
