Greetings...As much as I love Fuse and my G-Dec 15, it becomes, at least for me, an exercise in frustration when it comes to overwriting presets.

HW/SW: 17" MacBook Pro running 10.7.1, Fuse 2.4, Silverlight 4. I've had my 15 for about 3 weeks.

The usual scenario: I want to load (and eventually save) a new preset, including a new band track.

What I do: I connect the USB cable, fire up my amp, and once it is fully loaded, launch Fuse.

In Fuse, click Import, (I generally, but not always, select all 3 choices: Amp, Effects, and Band Settings) and navigate to my stored preset. (fyi, I tried a bunch of different presets, not just trying the same one every time)

Fuse imports it just fine, and makes the necessary changes.

Now we're getting to the glitchy part: I decide to save the new preset, and can see that "Save" is now in red, like it should be. I click Save, and the dialog box pops up, with the current name of the preset highlighted.

Regardless of whether I delete and type, or just start typing, the dialog box won't accept any keystrokes! Weird. Weird and very frustrating.

I can only hit Cancel, and am back to not being able to save it. So, I usually start poking around, opening up the Preset Info window (which, btw, I cannot enter text into the Comments or Tags field either) maybe select a Genre (which I can change) and go back and forth, trying to again save the preset, but usually end up generating a crash.

Once in a great while, I am suddenly able to enter text and change the preset name, but that is a rarity. There's no rhyme or reason for why all of sudden it works. If that does happen, and I click Save, sometimes the Save button in Fuse will stay red, and sometimes it will accept and keep the new name. However, if it does, I'll look over at my amp, and despite it finally being successful, the Save button on my amp is still lit up red! Argh.

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Same problem here! Really frustrating! I love the amp (mustang II) I received today, but fuse is not working well on 10.7.1. (I also had problems with updating the firmware of my mustang. I had to download 2.3 because 2.4 refused to install it correctly)

Think I found the bug. When you change a preset yourself in Fuse and you save it to your amp you can change the name. When you import settings and try to save that to your amp you are not able to type anything. But... When you already have tried to save the imported settings. With changing the preset your self you are also not able anymore to change the name . If you quit the program and launch it you can save the presets you make yourself and change the name again

Sounds like we're running into similar issues. Although, over this weekend, Fuse decided to let me change the Preset name and type into the text field. However, now Fuse started crashing, and when re-booting my amp and Fuse, the Preset drop-down menu showed blank spaces where I had changed the Preset names. My amp, fortunately, kept the changes.

Thinking a prefs file may be corrupt, I uninstalled Fuse (and all associated files: plist, the Fuse folder created in Documents, etc) downloaded 2.4 and re-installed.

Same behavior. Same blank spaces on Presets names I had changed.

I'm guessing the developers are pulling their hair out trying to get Fuse to play nice with 10.7. :wink:

OK, I've done some digging, but I won't be able to confirm until tonight.

The Preset files are just XML. I opened them up in Dashcode, but good ol' TextEdit will work just fine.

I opened up a few for comparison, and lo and behold, I can see where the problem is occurring (I can't say why it's occurring) but at least can deal with this as a workaround.

Not much code, but on the third line is this:
Code:
 <Info name="" author="" rating="0" genre1="-1" genre2="-1" genre3="-1" tags="" fenderid="0" />


Note the double quotes after Info name=
In between those is where the Preset name should be!


I'm going to change the file and save it so it will now say this:
Code:
 <Info name="Fixed Ya" author="" rating="0" genre1="-1" genre2="-1" genre3="-1" tags="" fenderid="0" />

Tonight, I will see if that will sync up and overwrite the Preset name on the amp. I'm hoping it will.

Disclaimer: I am not recommending anyone to do this. I am going to try it myself. If you choose to do this, you do so at your own risk.

edit: Because someone will ask, the files are in Documents > Fender > FUSE > AmpData

edit: OK, searching this forum for "XML" tells me I'm on the right track. :wink:

Well, crap. :? That didn't work. Still ended up with blank presets in Fuse.

OK, I'll have to go back to those other posts I searched out and read what they did.

That's too bad :-(.... I e-mailed the Fender tech support and they were telling me they are working hard on a compatible version of Fuse for Lion. Hope we will see the update soon!

The solution in this thread solved the blank preset name problem for me:

Thanks! I will give that a shot tonight. That post described exactly what I'm running into.

And it's a simple workaround? +1 to that! :)

I ran into something similar on 10.6.8 where I could not type anything in when I wanted to rename a saved patch. I figured out how to turn on the on-screen keyboard which worked fine. It's just a workaround, a little easier if you are used to tapping out emails on an iphone or ipad.

Thanks for the update, I had no doubt there was work going on behind the scenes. As I mentioned in my post on Oct 3: "I'm guessing the developers are pulling their hair out trying to get Fuse to play nice with 10.7"

Anyway, looking forward to the update when it is released!
