Hey, I am new to this and I was trying to alter some information in the UI files. I have opened it in word and in notepad, but when I save it I am unable to save it in the UI format. I have searched the forum with no luck. It may be something simple but I would appreciate your help, thanks.

what are you trying to do to your unit?

I was going to change the "destination menu" in the file title: start.ui, found in Data/ui_pioneer/common/ui. I opened it in notepad and changed it where I read on an earlier post, but I went to save the change and it only let me save it as a text document. I also tried modifying it in work but that also did not have the "ui" extention. I dont know much about the ui extention and have found little online. I want to make sure I have it saved correctly before putting on the SD card.

Sorry, I should have looked that over before I posted it, I meant to right word not work :?

In Windows Explorer change View options to a;lways show file extensions. Then save the file and remove .txt from the name, so it is only start.ui, ont start.ui.txt

 

Or use a better text editor that does not mangle file names (EditPlus works nicely).
