    Make any sense?
    Your right, the refresh button is not working. I had EFILive Explorer open while saving tune files in V8 and they were not appearing even after refreshing in EFILive Explorer. I did find if I moved out of the chosen folder in the top left portion of the EFILive Explorer screen and then re-navigated back into the chosen folder the refresh did occur. I then sorted by date so I could quickly see the added files.

    Maybe that is a better work around for you until Paul is back on deck and can follow it up.

    Cheers

If I reboot the computer and try re-opening the tune file through the 7.5 tune software it will display "unknown" and I have to open the V8 software "unlock" the tune and press the "edit" in V8 to open the 7.5 tune software again.
    Shouldn't the 7.5 software remember the last tune opened and default to that tune and not require V8 to be opened and the "edit" function through the V8 be used?
    Is it me trying to open the tune through the 7.5 Tune software causing the V8 to lock the tune again?

    Edit: Just tired it, I opened a tune through V8 Scan and Tune by the "edit" function, made a change "saved" it, reopened it and got a locked tune use properties to unlock warning. Properties and sure enough "lock" was on had to unlock again. Don't like this slow and cumbersome.
    Maybe I should say "security restrictions", it does show a "lock" as the icon, so locking it does right?
    If the tune restrictions are locked does it lock the controller (PCM) when flashed to it?
    You should check your properties settings that automatically apply each time you save a tune file. I'm certain in a recent release (sometime between May and now) we had a software warning in the release notes to check your default settings after the update.

    In V7 software these are located by navigating to the Permissions tab.

    "to check your default settings after the update." every time? Or just the once? "the update" which one? This one or one of the ones before it?

    "A non-restricted version" does that mean a tune that has the restrictions lifted through V8 before doing it in the V7 window?

    It was the public release dated May 2015. http://www.efilive.com/latest/cat/do...se-may-01-2015

    A non restricted version refers to not applying those restrictions on V7 or V8, or removing existing restrictions with V8.

    Did adjusting the permissions/properties defaults fix your issue?

    The [Refresh] button only refreshes the lower pane, i.e. it only regenerates the list of files by re-querying the attached device.

    The F5 hot key works in one of two ways:
    1. If the focus is in the top pane, it refreshes the top pane, i.e. it re-reads the folder from the PC hard drive.
    2. If the focus is in the bottom pane, it does the same as clicking on the [Refresh] button.


    So if you want to refresh the top pane (the list of files on your PC), you must click in the top list to give that list focus, then press the F5 hotkey to refresh the contents. Note, refreshing the top pane causes the currently selected "sort by" column to be lost and the pane is refreshed in its default order - so the file you're looking for may not appear in the "sorted" order as expected.

    Regards
    Paul
