    Hello,

    I have FM8 installed on a Windows 10 PC and a Mac (Sierra)

    I want to export my favourites folders (i have created 15 subfolders in the favourites section of FM8 filled with sounds) from my Windows FM8 to my Mac FM8

    When i locate the FM8 favourites folder in Windows 10 (user/'my user name'/documents/Native Instruments/FM8/Favourites) i can see the 15 subfolders i created. Here i can see all my FM8 patches but they are shortcut files (.lnk), so when i copy these files over to my Mac they are visible in FM8 but they won't play (they stay grey and don't turn yellow)

    So how can i move all my favourites FM8 patches from PC to Mac in an easy way?

    Thanks for the help!

    The suffix on pc is .nfm8 - .lnk is the file in recent folder.
    On my win7pro is the link to fm8 presets
    Users\my user name\Documents\Native Instruments\FM8\Sounds

    good luck
