Thanks. I thought I did that before but, when I did it just now, I see there are files scattered all over the drive.
Thanks for your help. I'll get to backing up those files now.

Not sure what to do except open each file one at a time and resave each into my new directory where all new midi files show up. I've searched around the OS for anything related to not seeing files in File Explorer but none of those tricks work either. Plus, I've got all filetypes and their extensions to show... it's just not making sense. I did have a problem a couple of months ago where I had to uninstall and reinstall QWS several times to get QWS to work. The issue was that, when I opened a new track, I couldn't edit the name of the track or the midi channel. I'm glad my midi files were retained through the uninstall and reinstalls (even if only through the Save dialog) but it's just oh so perplexing why I can't see those files in File Explorer. Any other ideas?

That'll give you an idea of where the program is saving the files. That's a persistent space, so you'll want to go back into the QWS directory. However, before you do that, open up where you want to back up the QWS files, select the QWS directory in the QWS save dialog, and copy the directory before going back into it. Paste it where you want to save it. This works because the QWS file windows are active windows and all standard windows commands work. I use it all the time to move things around, rename files, and do other stuff. Handy.

Thing is, when I traverse through Windows 10 "This" and find the QWS directory, I don't see any of the midi files. My intent is to back up those files but I can't find a way to view the files to backup. Any suggestions? Thanks!
