Have you tried the "Save as" option?

All I did when I was doing the Synthmaker Greatest Hits topic was change the file extension from .osm to .fsm and in most cases FlowStone will then convert the file format to suit fsm when you open it. You can then save it in FlowStone.

A few schematics didn’t work, or work properly, but most did. In some cases I was able to fix the issues but a very few were too broken. I would guess that about 90% had no problems at all once converted.

(Yes, I know this is an old thread...)

For what it's worth, FS (v3.0.6 at least) opens .osm files without renaming them, no problem. In Windows10, I just did an 'open with' in Explorer, selected FS as the app, and checked the 'always use this app' box. Only difference I can see is that Explorer uses a slightly different icon in its display.

[EDIT] Aw, never mind, I miss-read the original post.
I keep a pair of oven mitts next to my computer so I don't get a concussion from slapping my forehead while I'm reading the responses to my questions.
