Sound files

I have been using Chrome lately and also noticed there is no 'Save As' anymore. I've just been going back to Internet Explorer for these types of things. I don't know if Edge has that feature like IE does or not?

I am going to give Firefox a try as well, not sure what it does with these things?

Maybe someone will post instructions on how to do a 'Save As' in these other browsers, if it's possible.

Good luck.

Hmmm.. I'll ck that out.. I could understand if you had to convert the file to make it compatible but it can't be moved. 

If you use Internet Explorer, just right click on the file and select 'Save As' or whatever the exact wording is. It will bring up a file manager screen and you can name it, select where to save it etc. No converting is needed, just don't change the file extension.

If you look at the pic it shows save picture. That's not gonna work. I'm going to try chrome. 

In Chrome, 'save link as' is what you want.  Just learned that myself from another thread.

Right click and use "save target as"

Yes I got it to load but it won't go into the service loader because I try ed to open it with media player. How do I fix it.

Start over. Delete that version, reload from MTH Web and start over.  G

It keeps opening the same way.. 

I got it.

I'm confused as to whether you are still having issues.  I have 3 browsers: firefox, chrome and explorer.  I am using Windows 7, not Windows 10.   I believe Windows 10 has a new browser, haven't used it.  I would expect it to behave similarly to what is described below.

Using this as an example, select the "Support" tab and hover the mouse pointer over the "Protosound" icon.

Next --  it depends a little on the browser:

1) Firefox:   left clicking the icon for me at least invokes a pop-up dialog to save the .mth file.   If this fails, right click instead and you'll get a pop-up window.  Use the "Save link as..." option to save the file. 

2) Chrome:   right click here, left click just loads in the browser which tries to interpret it as text -- you don't want that.  So, right click and you'll get a pop up with a lot of options.  Use the "Save Link As..." one to save the .mth file to your local computer.  Same words, but the "link" is "Link" here and "as" is "As".

3) Explorer:  same as chrome but the pop-up menu says "Save target as..."  a little different.

As before, PS3 is I believe either always or typically a .zip containing the .mth and .crec files it uses...

Except to run the .mth file through some kind of sound player, I don't see any reason to unzip it... (or just to have a look)

For example here:  http://mthtrains.com/20-20426-1 is PS3 and resulting "sound file" is a .zip ...

Any help?

Wow.. thanks for the tips.. I finally got it back to the original and got the service loader to take it. Now I just need to fix the serial port cable.

Took the laptop to the computer place cuz they gave me the wrong cord. The plug has a chip in it so you can't use an 8 on a windows 10. But the driver for the 8 accepted the 10 cord. Kinda like a car key chip. 

So I uploaded the file to the gp38 and it uploaded fine and sounds great.  I'm assuming if you want to put a  different sound file like a gp38 into a gp7 let's say as long as it's the 3 volt board it will overwrite it?  Thanks for the help!

Firefox works great.
