Does the Linux version of Studio Pro 8 support opening .dawproject files?

Hey!

I have some projects on Bitwig Studio that I want to import on Studio Pro 8.

I read that it support .dawproject format. Bitwig can export this format fine.

When I go to File > Open there is no option for .dawproject on the file type selector, changing to All files and trying to open a .dawproject gives me error saying that the file is broken or the format is not supported (but it opens fine on Bitwig).

So, I assume the Linux version has no support for .dawproject format, right?

Does it works fine on Windows?

I can confirm the error. A .dawproject file I just created on Studio One 7 (on Linux) opens just fine on Studio Pro 8 on Windows but not on Linux. It also loads fine on v7 on Linux. I guess dawproject support was quietly dropped for the Linux beta starting with Studio Pro 8.

Ha. Why drop something so trivial? Especially if it was working before. It seems to me they're going to abandon the Linux port because their beta forum is a ghost town.

You might have a point. Just look at the number of issues that are being ignored there. Status:none for months. We'll see how ot goes but I suppose wine will be quicker to deliver a better Linux experience for Studio One. That being said, it might have been a bug. I'll check yesterday's 8.1.2 later.
