Whenever I save files on Moho, the file is no longer recognized as a .moho file. That means that when I try to import objects from previous .moho files, they don't show up as an option. Any ideas for a fix?
I've tried exporting as Version 9/10/11 files and it doesn't make a difference. I'm using Moho Pro 12, version 12.0

Re: Moho not recognizing .moho files
That's really weird. That said, I would first update to 12.4 (or 12.5 on Mac.) From what I recall, 12.0 was pretty buggy, and 12.4+ is very solid and stable.

Re: Moho not recognizing .moho files
first of all -- you can get a later version of 12.x (free assuming you have a working serial number) here: https://my.smithmicro.com/ click on the "Moho 12" dropdown and install the latest version.
(see also: http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33574)
as for the real problem - you don't say if you're windows or mac - so what I'm about to say is win10 specific and you'll need to adapt it if you're not on win10.
Check the file associations for moho: Settings / Choose Default applications by file type - and make sure .moho (and .anme) are pointing at the right program (i.e. Moho)
if that's ok - make sure you're not specifying "the wrong" extension when saving
maybe that version (12.0) has a problem with certain alphabets - I can't recall when the issue was fixed, but "non US-English" letters in filenames did cause all sorts of headaches
if none of those ideas bear fruit, then hopefully someone else will come up with a better idea -- or if you could post an few example filenames that aren't being recognised...

Also ... you can upload a file that you can't open to the cloud and post a link here, and the sleuths can try and see what's-up.

The latest for Windows is v12.5 and for Mac v12.5.1 (or 12.3 for older Mac OSes).

Re: Moho not recognizing .moho files
Thank you all for the help! Greatly appreciated.
I'm using Windows 10. I installed the latest version of Moho 12 and it still wasn't working. However, I then tried saving the file as a previous version (Anime Studio 11) file and now Moho recognizes it, so I'm able to import those objects into a new animation.
Thanks again!
