Open a saved seed
Bringing an existing seed back into the app can happen three ways, and they all end the same — the seed opens in a tab you can render:
- Load seed — the Load button in the top bar opens a file picker filtered to
.yamsseeds. - Drag and drop — drag a
.yamsfile straight onto the app window and drop it. A soft overlay appears while you're dragging, to show it will be loaded. - Double-click — because the app registers the
.yamsfile type, double-clicking a seed (or using Open with) launches the app with that seed loaded, or hands it to an already-running window.
Opening a file that's already in a tab brings that tab forward, refreshed from the file, rather than duplicating it. However it arrives, the whole form fills back in from the file — chords, tempo, style, format, everything — because a seed is defined entirely by the form. Reopen one and press Render to get the same audio again, or change a single setting — a different style, a slower tempo — and render a variant without retyping the progression.
