I have old project from Studio.02.00.00 and I am trying to load it in 2.02.06. It asks if I want to migrate it to the new version. I answer yes and it bring up this error
Invalid Studio file /path/FMODStudio/Metadata/._Master.xml
I don’t have a ._Master.xml file. (I have show hidden files on)
Any idea how I can get this project to load?
That ._ prefix looks like the one you get when you move a project from an Apple file system to a Windows file system. Is the rest of that /path/ inside a directory called __MACOSX? Do you have any other files prefixed with ._?
Hello Jeff!
I’m another user, and I’m having this problem. I have this project on an external drive. I work on Mac and Windows with this external drive. In my case, there is no “__MACOSX” folder inside my external drive, and the file “._Master.xml” is non-existent inside the path that the error says.
I don’t have any more files starting with ._
What should I do next?
Thank you!
Can you please upload this old project to your FMOD Profile so I can try debugging this?
You should be able to merge these doubled files on your hard drive by connecting the hard drive to your mac and running this command from the terminal:
dot_clean -m -n "/volumes/your hard drive/fmod project directory"
Can you please upload your project, and then give that command a go?
