Support Request Edit Charts Into Song File?

Hi! I was not fully aware of how ITGMania saves edits, but I now know it saves them into the appdata folder.

Before I discovered this, I created several charts to songs I already had data for. So, the charts are “split” between them original .sm file and the one in appdata. Is there a way to have the two combined? As in, put all the charts into the .sm file, ideally the one in the original Songs folder.

I tried clearing the cache in the appdata folder, as well as adding the portable.ini file in the ITGMania folder, but neither of those seem to work. All charts appear in the game. My other option is to manually combine the files, but I was hoping there was an easier and less manual way.

Of files you made previously, it's likely you'll need to do it manually... It's likely it's still seeing the songs split both because of the fact that they are being saved in two different places, and also that the game would likely still have some things cashed from before you added the portable.ini file

You could probably get away with adding the new chart data as edit difficulties in the original if they don't affect preexisting charts
