    Sorry if this has been covered before but I can't seem to find anything about it in the manual. If I want to create and store a new patch (or just a Matrix), fine, I can save the matrix by clicking the disk icon and storing. But uhm... how do I load it back up? It doesn't seem to appear in the matrix list by itself... The default folder that VSL wants me to store matrixes in, can't be used. It is owned by "system" and read-only when I did an info on it!! I tried repairing permissions, it found no problems here, and the folder still belongs to "system" [*-)]

    EDIT: I deleted the folder and created it again myself, now it works. Seems like an issue with the installer...?

    I'm not sure what computer you are using, but you do have a Director Manager application where all of your installed factory setups were originally organized. What appears in this window also appears on the right side of the VI console, which enables you to select the matrices or patches you want.

    In the Directory Manager, there is a "browse" button at the bottom which allows you to select your custom folder. Add that to the directory manager window. On some computers, it is necessary to shut down and reboot in order for this to take effect. Otherwise, your custom folder should appear among the choices the next time you open an instance of VI Cube.

    Hope that helps.

    Ah-- good job. Not sure why it goes in and out from time to time. The common workaround is to clear the Directory Manager and re-establish the folder paths just as you've done.

    Glad you're back in stride!

    i'd like to add that the custom folder (location mostly set during the first installation) might have its permissions set to *read only*, so just setting permissions to *read and write* should fix such a problem too.

    Yes, it was set to "read only" but I couldn't change it, because owner was "system". Deleting it and creating it again worked though.
