If anyone out there has any ideas on how to get up to speed on this program I'd sure be happy to hear them.
First thing - never SAVE, always do SAVE AS. Then you will get a choice of directory, and file format. Otherwise Gallery saves in its own directory. You can also select which file format to save by holding down ctrl and clicking.
If you only use PES files, hold control and select all the PES files, and save them to the directory you want.
I leave them all open. I can use PES files on my Pfaff, but sometimes will save as VIP, VIP3, and Viking's old HUS.
I have to select which PES version, too since I am using a Pfaff.
