Before upgrading to 2018 it might be a good idea to back up favourites styles as they were wiped when I upgraded to 18 on my main and backup copy of biab.

That's a great idea, musiclover!

I've just had a look and it's also possible to save "File | Open Special | Favorite Songs" in exactly the same way.

That's a good advice, but the truth is that the installer shouldn't delete any user file without asking first.

Thanks.

The installation never deletes files, and it actually doesn't do anything with .FSO files, so those files should be somewhere. But it's true that the song files may have moved...

Thanks Andrew.

Anyone have an idea where in the bb folder they are stored, then I might be able to reload a more recent list (if it's still there) than the backup I had to reload on a different drive from six months ago?

Thanks

I noticed it yesterday but thought has something to do with the Audiophile version... How are the favorite files named, so I can search for them ? I searched for *.FSO from the biab folder but it did not find anything. As a developer, I do have a custom path for an optimized environment "path" var, so this is my command line sequence:

c:
cd /devMM/biab
dir *.fso /s

No files are found.

Mine is called SytleFavorites.TXT, which I keep in a safe place.

I think it might be actually .FST that we have to look for.

My favourite styles disappeared when I installed 2018, now is blank. I don't have any *.fst / *.fso file on my system. I have SytleFavorites.TXT on BIAB root directory, but I can't import it directly in BIAB2018 because the dialog box ask for a *.FST file (first screenshot)

Then I renamed SytleFavorites.TXT into SytleFavorites.fst, imported this file but something went wrong (second screenshot)

Then I restarted BIAB and opened the "favourite style" window again to try to understand what happened, but only a few of the styles in the file had been imported successfully (third screenshot)
