[Posting for vegannoise from other thread -- admin]:

I'm running Mulch on two different computers. I've saved a file on one that isn't on the other, and I'd like to transfer it. When in Mulch I go to "open", all my files are there plain as day. When I open the actual folder location where it says the files are, however, the Mulch files are nowhere to be found. I've even done searches throughout the harddrive to find words in the file names, and it comes up with nothing. Can someone tell me how the Mulch files are saved and where and if it's possible to do a simple copy and paste deal?

Where are you saving your files?

What you're describing sounds like the Windows 7 "virtual store". It's a feature of Windows 7 and I'm afraid I can't provide a full explanation, it still confuses me. In short: if you save your files in the Programs/AudioMulch folder they'll be stashed away somewhere and you won't be able to see them except from AudioMulch. This was discussed in this thread:

If you save them in a folder of your Documents folder, or on the Desktop (for example) then you should be able to access them correctly. This is a good idea: don't store your personal files under the Programs folder.

Does that help?

Hey Ross, 

Thanks so much for the help. Yep, that is indeed the issue. I was just using the default Programs/AudioMulch folder. I just tried saving a file to the desktop and sure enough, it's there. The workaround I was using was to save a copy with files to my external HD that I use to move stuff from one computer to the other, but it's a pain only being able to transfer one file at a time like that. 

Thanks again for the help!

In that case you should be able to find all your files under:

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\AudioMulch ... et cetera

HTH
