I don't know if this is accidental or on purpose.But would you guys mind bringing back it's a template file format back. I had a bunch of templates that I used to make like drum machines. And you guys got rid of the template file format.

It's available for saving but not for opening. Try Ctrl+O and the only option is the first one.

As a temporary workaround, you can start the lmms from command line with your project as an argument:
lmms path/to/project.mpt
Seems to work plenty fine

Hmm opening from side panel works
But it's not available in the "Flies of type" dropdown here
This file dialog doesn't show mpt files at all
torn sierra
Check the dropdown. I can't be arsed
compact charm
The only option in dropdown is *mmp *mmpz, there's no mpt option
I couldn't take a screenshot with dropdown open
torn sierra
No I believe you. I just couldn't be arsed
Anyway, I honestly don't know what separates a template from a project file. Far as I can see, it's literally just a different file extension
And anyway, if you want to use a template, put them in your templates folder in your work directory. That way they'll appear in the new from template dropdown

IDK what OP's use case is but templates are text-based and human readable. Sometimes I would modify mpt files using external tools.
torn sierra
You can do that with .mmp files
Just uncheck "compress project files by default" option in settings and enjoy life
compact charm
Oh, I thought mmp was binary 😅
Turns out it's text too

no mpt file

Click on it. It's a dropdown
graceful junco
Click on it. It's a dropdown
there is no dropdown

flile opne dosen't

Seems to work plenty fine
This works though
If you want your template to show up here, put it in the templates folder in your work directory
Otherwise there is no functional difference between a mmp project and mpt template

Remove tag Alpha1.3
This is not an Alpha issue
*New from template *is still an option in Alpha1.3
Has that really been removed in Nightly?!
torn sierra
No, I literally just posted a screenshot of it just above
Not sure why you couldn't open it from the open... dialog though, they're literally just project files with a different extension
calm gorge
If thats from Hís nightly, Then whats the hallobaluula ?
torn sierra
Look at the screenshots and it makes sense
You can use new from template, or drag in from the sidebar, but for some reason that option doesn't exist in the open... dialog
Which seems like an oversight, but nothing critical. You can open templates in the other two ways
calm gorge
Ok i think tháts ok
Open is for made projects and not meant for templates
