wb3 file type not recongnized

Same problem!!...someone, anyone. What's going on!!

same thing. can't load *.wb3....also can not save new projects correctly. any idea? i will try to reinstall wavburner...maybe? please help!

Same problem, can't save properly either. Going back to 1.5 until fixed.

The OSX update to 10.6.1 seems to have fixed the problem of recognition and saving of Waveburner files.

Running 10.6.1 with the most recent Logic update and still can't open wb3 files. In fact, now my Waveburner 1.5 is gone (I used to be able to click my wb3 file and choose "open with", but alas... no more). ***?

AAAARGH!! Panic!!

Love you long time! Love you all week for quick fix!

Nobody's got a clue??

I'm seriously up **** creek here with album mastering sessions that I need to bounce and upload.

I need help fast!

A simple re-install fixed it. And don't continue using Waveburner until you've re-installed if you have this same problem because you can't open 1.6 sessions either if you have this problem. And you still can't after re-installing, so better re-install at once and minimize the damage.

Insert the Logic 9 install disk and uncheck everything BUT Waveburner. The new installation will fix the problem.

I've never had to re-install anything on a Mac before (since '95) so I didn't think of this solution for some time...

I had exactly this problem, and one re-install with a restart wasn't even good enough. I had to remove WaveBurner using Amnesia by Koingo and then re-install. Then (and only then) did it open old files properly!

Keep going until it gets there, it is worth it!

with best regards,

The fix of this problem is really simple:

Open WaveBurner.app

Go to folder ...WaveBurner.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj (if you use a other language choose that)
Open the file infoPlist.strings and change the line
"WaveBurner 3 Document" = "WaveBurner 3 Document";
to
"WaveBurner 3 Document" = "wb3";

Save and you can read the wb3 (and write) files.

Why the file-ending is localized is a good questions to the developers.

Correction: " Open WaveBurner.app as folder "

I tried everything in this string. Nothing worked until I trashed the WaveBurner 1.6 app and then re-installed just WaveBurner. Can now open WavBurner 1.5 files and save in 1.6. Hope this works for you.

When is not the string in InfoPList, so I told you what I make.

WB 1.6 does not recognize wb3.

Then I copy WB 1.5 over network on my computer.
WB 1.5 where running correct.

Then I make the changes of the string. And WB 1.6 works.

So their is a change that not the strings correction repair WB 1.6...
The simple Start of WB 1.5 repair WB 1.6...

Thanks for starting this thread; I had to run Amnesia as well to wipe all support files before reinstalling WaveBurner in a way that got it working again. Has anyone run the 1.6.1 update after reinstalling, and is the app still opening .wb3 files without problems?

10.6.2 & Logic 9.1

Still no fix for the WaveBummer unrecognised file-type .wb3 bug.

I have hundreds of old master files I need to access.

I sent a feedback/bug-report to Apple months ago.

Is anyone at Apple listening?
