FW 7.1.1 Public Beta Feedback Thread

"fixed: lost snapshots during upgrade"

Doesn't work for me.

I tried latest 7.1.1. Tried = kaos 7.1.1 booted from USB directly. (I don't upgrade anymore to test new fw, instead I use direct load from USB)

My snapshots are still lost. If I use fw 6, they are back.

You should store your snapshots as rigs in your pool while on OS6 and then upgrade. Snapshots should be treated as temporary until such time as you save them as rigs.

This is during upgrade from 6.0 - re-integration comes with the next iteration.

Could you please provide any source of this recommendation? I am not aware of anything like that.

And even if it was true, it would be nonsense. Who would ever develop upgrade process like this? It's developers' task to think about such cases and make sure thing will work out.

I am still waiting for OS v7 which will handle my snapshots properly.

I have more snapshots. Whenever i like my tweaking, I just take snapshot. And I have many of them. Will I need them in the future? I don't know. Why on earth should I save them as rigs if I am not sure I like them?

Didn't CK say that 'guitarists should not lost any amp settings' - that's why Snapshots were introduced?

Well, I didn't find anything in the manual that tells me that:

- You should store your snapshots as rigs in your pool while on OS6 and then upgrade.

- Snapshots should be treated as temporary until such time as you save them as rigs.

Am I missing something?

If the snapshots were permanent then there would be no need to save them in the rig pool. The Rig Pool is accessed with the Rig Manager and is backed up when you make a back up. The snapshot are not.

I am sorry, but this conversation leads to nowhere. You are trying to explain to me things, that I was not asking about.

Snapshots are permament as they are saved to snapshots folder as files(check usb backup files). It should be possible to import them to database during update.

Peto I think it is fixed with 7.1.2 FW . At least my snapshots are now visible.

Damian thank you for info and thanks to Kemper team for fix. It looks like it's fixed.
