I'm trying to transfer all my LMMS projects to another laptop. I was successful in doing that but when LMMS plays the projects, the sounds aren't being played? The same sounds I used on my other laptop I also transferred those onto my new laptop. How can I get LMMS to play my projects? |

Jordan, I believe LMMS stores the absolute path to each sample, which breaks them if it's not in the exact same location on each computer. Hopefully somone can confirm this. You may need to click each button and re-import the samples. This is very cumbersome for larger projects. Another alternative is to copy the samples you use to the same directory that LMMS uses, so that it would be consistent across computers. (i.e. C:\Program Files\LMMS\....\etc) -Tres On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 3:08 PM, Jordan Mars <jor...@gm...> wrote: > I'm trying to transfer all my LMMS projects to another laptop.

This appears to be the case. (I've transplanted my lmms install on Linux before.) I expect this would also make it OS-specific, i.e. if you're not using LMMS's packaged samples them you'd have to fix paths if you moved an .mmpz from Windows to Linux. - d. |

Thanks for the confirm David. Is there a place to request a feature to add an option to fix this (like a wizard that can fix all project paths?) I'm fairly certain FLStudio had this same limitation, so this would be a leg up... :) -Tres On Jan 12, 2012, at 9:26 AM, David Gerard <dg...@gm...> wrote: > On 12 January 2012 14:22, Tres Finocchiaro <tre...@gm...> wrote: > >> I believe LMMS stores the absolute path to each sample, which breaks them if >> it's not in the exact same location on each computer. >> Hopefully somone can confirm this. > > > This appears to be the case.

Then just transplanting your "samples" folder would do the right thing. - d. |

Then just > transplanting your "samples" folder would do the right thing. That's what LMMS already does. It always tries to make sample paths etc. relative to working directory or the global sample directory of the program. So if your settings are correct, things should always be saved in a relative manner. Toby |

(I haven't checked.) - d. |
