From the File and Windows menu, select Open… . The normal Windows dialog box
appears, so you can choose the file you want to open.
You can also press Ctrl-O instead.
Normally, you will probably keep all your patches in the same folder on your PC.
You can tell GT Manager to use this as the default folder; select the Tools and
Settings Folder & File menu, and pick the folder from the folder list.
GT Manager uses a “.syx” file format by default. It can also read “.gxg” files from
the Boss GT-10 librarian, and “.mid” files.

GT Manager can save patch files in “.syx” format (the default), “.mid” format for
importing into other midi applications, “.gxg” format for loading into Boss’s GT-10
librarian and “.xls” format for generating a comprehensive listing of all the patch
settings.
The “raw .syx” format contains only the patch information: the other information
such as patch creation dates and user details.
