What is OFF-LINE/ON LINE editing?

You can use the editor to organize and edit X5D data without the X5D connected - to enable this option select 'OFF-LINE' from the main editor window menu. In this mode, data will not be requested from X5D, instead it will be loaded from hard drive files. The 'Write' program or the combi function will save to the disk instead of X5D.

How do I use the Drag and Drop file feature?

You can simply open the editor and Windows File Explorer and drag X5D files form Windows Explorer into the editor. Dragged files will be automatically loaded and their contents displayed. Supported Files:

• X5D Dump All RAW Sysex files *.syx (Global,Programs,Combis,Multi)
• *.X5D or *.05r files saved using X5DEdPro (Global,Programs,Combis,Multi)
• Raw Sysex X5D Program and Combi Bank Files (both *.syx and *.05...)
• X5DEdPro Program Library Files (*.5pl) or combination library files (*.5cl)
• Single Program or Combi Files
• X5DEdPro's Multi Files.

X5D All data files can be dropped into the main editors window and the 'black list of patches'

Program Bank files can be dropped to 'black list of patches' in Program Mode. The data will be loaded into RAM bank A. If you drop it into the GM bank the data will automatically moved into bank A. Single programs and Combinations can be dropped into the main window or Program Edit and Combi edit window depending on a mode.

X5DEdPro's Library Files (*.5pl or *.5lc) can be dropped in Program or Combi Librarians . You can also drop multi-selected files. X5DEdPro will filter all of them out. Files already loaded will be omitted.

Can I open the editor by clicking on X5D or 05r file?

Yes, you can make X5DEdPro the default editor for those files. You can double click on X5D or 05r file in Explorer/File manager and file contents will be automatically loaded and displayed. But before you can do that you have to assign X5D or 05r files to X5DEdPro by associating it with the editor. X5DEditPro does not write to the Windows registry so you have to associate X5D file manually by double clicking it and selecting 'Open with...X5DEditPro.exe' or use View/Folder_Option in explorer menu to change file associations.
