Subject: Re: [ModularSynthPanels] Opening FPD files

From: Jason Proctor <jason@...>

the only thing i can think of is that your machine is doing a text
file translation during or after the download. is the file on your
disk exactly the same size as it is in the group's file section? if
there is ∗any∗ difference then most likely that's what's happening.

i'm not familiar with download translation options on Linux but your
browser may be configured to treat files with the .fpd extension as
text. some browsers will put a .txt on the end of a file whose
extension they don't recognise, also adding to the confusion.
