I've been converting a load of files from 8 character file names to 'lon' file names. There is a large bunch that when I click on convert, all it does is adds a second extension. I have tried all sorts of things, renameing etc. Any ideas?
One I named BMR1.sgu and the other I named BMR2.sgu
These were the actual file names on the hardrive. Both had 8.x filenames.
In BIAB, BMR1 I named "Beaumont Rag in C" and saved it, still as BMR1.sgu.
I then opened up BMR2 and named it BMR2 in BIAB.
See the screen shots.
I then used the utility to auto rename both of them to long files names.
The result was that BMR1.sgu was automatically named to "Beaumont Rag - Guitar - " but the other file, BMR2.sgu kept the same name "BMR2.sgu".
I believe in actuality that it was renamed since the utility grabs what is in the Title Box and changed the file name in the computer to match. Since BMR2 was what the 2nd file was named as in BIAB, the utility just renamed the 2nd file to BMR2.sgu again, since that was what it was named in the program.
All that being said, concerning the files that are NOT being renamed, do those have the names populated inside the BIAB program as what you want them to appear as after the utility is run?

I do remember this problem from a long time ago and started looking in my collection of songs.
Just found something interesting. I have an old collection of jazz songs that have file dates of 1991, about 532 of them. All of them have double extensions. For example:
I just renamed all of the files using Bulk Rename Utility to remove the double extension and the ~ from them so they looked like normal file names.
I made sure all of them have long file names in BIAB and ran the File Utility and ALL of them had added extensions to them.
For Example:
2LATBA1.SG4 is named 2-5-1 Progessions--All keys in BIAB and the File Rename utility changed it to 2LATBA1.SG4.SG4 instead of properly renaming it to 2-5-1 Progessions--All keys.sg4 on the hard drive.
Something is truly amiss here at my end also.
I would attach the song file but BIAB will not let me upload a song file. Only lets me upload a graphics file. Tried to rename the extension to make it appear as a graphics file but BIAB rejected it.
Any ideas on how to make the song file available for others to test?

Reply to a post and use the File Manager. It doesn't look like it, but it's a link if you hover. Find it at the top of the Post Options, just below the area where you type a post.
I think one of you should contact PG Music Support directly, and reference this thread.

Did that but evidently the forum program is looking at the file to make sure it is indeed a graphic. Tried renaming the extension to gif, jpg and tif and even zip, but it rejected it each time.
