How do I find all DP files?

Post by gavspen »

Apologies if this is a dopey question but, How do I find all DP files on my mac? They are scattered about the place and I want to tidy things up.

I can use "Find" to look for all, say, .mp3s, but DP files dont have a visible extension.

Any way to do it?

Thanks

Yes, it's sticky work, but try using "Digital Performer Project Document" as a search criterion in the Finder, then in the results, choose "Kind" from the upper window frame. This will group file types together. What it won't do is to associate the Audio or Analysis folders with their respective "mother" project files, but you will be able to identify the directories for where the projects and folders may be found.
