Can I open USFM files in Paratext 10 Studio?

Question

I would like to work with some USFM files that aren't available in the +Get Resources button. Specifically, I want to work with the USFM files that Biblica made for the Nepali Contemporary Version (https://open.bible/bibles/Nepali-Biblica-Bible-Text/). I've downloaded these USFM files to my laptop. In Paratext 9.5, I could open these and work with them in Paratext. Is there a way to open them and work with them in 10 Studio?

Answer 1

Paratext 10 Studio beta 1 does not yet have a smooth way to create projects from zip files or to import projects from Paratext 9. That will come  with later versions.  

In beta 1, you need to find where Paratext 10 studio stores its projects. On my computer it is in c:\Users\username\.paratext-10-studio\projects\Paratext 9 projects"

Once you find that folder, you can copy the project folder from your Paratext 9 settings folder (usually c:\My Paratext 9  Projects) into  it.  Then when  you start Paratext 10, you should see this project in the "open" list.

Thanks! That worked perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised that it even worked copying it from my Paratext 9 folders on my Windows virtual machine and pasting them into Paratext 10 Studio running on macOS!
