Question

Has anyone successfully imported patches on the PC?

Answer 1

The Windows importing should now be fixed in Waverazor v1.0.2

Confirmed, Rob. Import/export working correctly now.
Thanks!!!

Answer 2

Hi @benfury,

Chris looked into it, and we definitely have a Windows bug here.  I've added his information to the issue I opened when you first reported this.  Here's what Chris said:

Looks like this is a Windows issue :(
I downloaded the patches and even exported a standard patch.
Waverazor doesn't see any files when I try to do an import.
This happened in Sonar (on my studio machine) and in Acid (on my everyday-use machine)

There are some good clues here so hopefully Rob can make short work of this one...

Many thanks for your help with this,

Taiho

Awesome.

Thanks, Taiho!

Answer 3

@benfury, Yes! =)

I finally got the opportunity to run a Win VM and was able to both import/export patches in WR.

Win 7 (64bit) -> Reaper (DAW) -> Waverazor

All works as expected with zero issues.

I hope this helps!

I think this is an important clue, so I added it to the issue I opened on our internal bug tracker.  Many thanks!

@taiho, yep, no problem!

Wow, that is really weird that it works in a VM but not in a native boot of Windows.  In any case, I see what the problem is and will have this sorted for the next release (hopefully that will happen before too long)...   thanks for hunting down info this one everyone!

@rob, yeah, it is strange! I've often found Win running better on Apple hardware and in virtualization (ala Citrix XenDesktop) than anything else.

I can't explain it. *shrugs*

Answer 4

Here is a possible workaround for now.   When you select Import, the File Open dialog will appear and navigate to the folder where you want to import wraz files.  In the File Open dialog box, there is a blank edit box next to the "File Name" label.   In that edit box, you can enter   *.wraz   and hit enter.   That should allow the .wraz files to appear.

My apologies for the bug, and it will be fixed in our next build.

Confirmed. That workaround loads the patch. Once loaded the patch is volatile. Switching to any other patch erases it. The patch is not persistent. Doing a save as does not make it persistent.

Related note: patch list inside Waverazor shows no folder structure. (sent image file).
