    Ok so, here's my problem, i was just gonna play Powder Toy on my saves, but Powder Toy wont detect any saves when infact theres tons of my saves file in one folder called "Saves", i tried moving the Powder Toy app to the desktop along with the Saves folder into my desktop but it doesn't fix the problem, i even moved the Powder Toy app in one folder WITH the saves folder in it, still it doesn't fix my problem, can anyone help me please. Thanks.

    Which version of TPT are you using? By any chance are you using the beta?

    If you are using the beta, read my note "shared data directory" here. You can use the "Migrate to shared data directory" button to fix this issue, which will migrate any Saves/ folder next to your tpt executable into the shared directory.

    For both the beta and the current release, you can press "Open Data Folder" in the options menu to find the places where Saves/ needs to go.


    Edit: local saves in the beta are broken, sorry. (The migration process is also broken). Download the release build from the main page instead.
    This has been fixed for the release build.

    Ok. I don't plan to release a new snapshot until after 96.0 releases, but I did release a new beta to fix the issue, and you can also use the release build.

    You can keep using the snapshots after 96.0's release if you want.
