jaminjimlp Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I was saving my IR's from the Helix app with the export function and it saved them in alphabetical order and no #'s so I have taken some screenshots to help remember there order because after the update if load up my presets if the IR's are not in the right place they won't sound the same after the factory reset. I guess I was hoping it would save the #'s too so it would be real easy to get back up and running after any firmware update or reset. What have any of you done to make it easier. I have all 128 slots filled I don't use them all but want them there when dialing up tones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radatats Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'm pretty sure they don't get erased on a firmware update, at least mine didn't. I believe they are in there until you physically move or change them. But its a good practice for sure if you use them regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get erased if you do the recommended factory reset (holding down FS9 & FS10 while rebooting) after installing the update. I'm also using the screenshot method for now until they get it sorted.

talwilkins Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 You could make the backup per IR and put the number before the name. It's some work but you would only have to do it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 One way, you could use a file manager with a batch rename, or scripted renaming function. Or, just rely on an alphabetical sort for the naming convention, which any file manager should be able to do. Then when you want them back in Helix, just use the import function and on the dialog that pops-up select the first IR in the list, then shift-select the last to select them all at once and in the order you see them in your file manager. This is on windows 7, don't know a thing about apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsdenj Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I ran into the same problem and have not yet done a full factory reset when updating in order to preserve the IRs. I had thought about importing in alphabetic order in order to preserve the ordinary, and make it a little easier to locate an IR when configuring a block. However, that only works until you have to add another IR. Probably the best solution is to export, then rename the files manually to put the IR number at the beginning of the file name. Hopefully this option will appear in some future Helix update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminjimlp Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yeah I thought about using the http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php the helix app also cuts off the name if it's too long... the Ownhammer ones are real long.
