ok, i wrote a song last night and came back to it this morning hoping to mix and render it. i’d also thought of a title for it and as my song folder is crowded with “breakbeat idea” files, i thought i’d rename the file using the rename function on the directory panel. having done this, the file disappeared from the directory. so, i went to the song folder where i found the file - however, it was no longer a renoise song file - it was now one of those generic windows jobbies… i tried opening the file with renoise but it comes up with that “unknown song file type” error. 
i then thought of checking the auto-backup folder, but found to my horror that the backup ammounted to all of 2 patterns, cos i kept saving the song manually… iayayay! 
does anyone know a way of making the song file renoise compatible again? please don’t say i’m going to have to start the track again…
