Hello! I downloaded Drawer ORBZAMPLE template from Gs helper.com (Link http://gshelper.com/shop/free-templates-and-tutorials/orbzample-drawing-demos/) .But I believe the person only made one file and that was for Mac. I tried to convert the file to Mac (using this link: http://gshelper.com/shop/free-templates-and-tutorials/mac-to-windows-template-conversion-gamesalad-tutorial/) I always end up getting http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2eun5v4&s=8 . I also have tried manually changing how the file is opened by Right clicking the file > Properties> General > Opens with: (I changed it to Gamesalad) also no luck. Then I tried seeing to change the "Type of file" by following this youtube video and changing the "gameproj" extension to the "gsproj" extension also no luck. I have tried everything in my computer knowledge I'm running the Gamesalad 0.10.4.1 Version . I checked for updates and there were non. I was wondering if you guys could take a try at it and if anyone is successful could please send me the windows file. You'll be helping me out so much you wouldn't understand. I've been trying to convert this file for windows for about 3 days now, and it's super frustrating I've converted files before with no hitch.

Thanks so much again in advance :)

    Some of the older templates cant be converted the way you described. You can ask GShelper if they can convert it for you. @Braydon_SFX may be able to help.

    I am a Mac user so I don't know for sure, but it seems that you are trying to open the wrong file. Instead, open the folder and then rename the proper file within that folder.

    It looks like the folder you want to open is 'Drawer ORBZAMPLE.gameproj'. You will probably find a file inside there with the same name. You can then change the extension to '.gsproj'.

    I've saved both files in the latest version of GameSalad Creator for Mac -- Try converting the files now.
