Hello,

I am trying to import a .ds file to duplicate my application for testing purposes.

The application is built on an older version of Zoho Creator, and there are scripts in the .ds file that are no longer supported in new applications.  

I'd like to edit these out of the file, but I'm not able to do that on import. I have attempted to open the file in WordPad and Notepad, but I believe this corrupts the .ds file. It generates incorrect characters that I believe interfere with the import (in addition to the old scripts). 

I've also attempted to edit the .ds file within the text box, but Output just says "Updating..." indefinitely. I believe it is because there are over 15,000 lines of code and it cannot update. 

Is there a program that I can use to edit the .ds file? It's very difficult to know the issue when the error message is so nondescript. 

Any suggestions? I often see that Zoho Support is willing to look into these files and test, but I would like to see what I can do internally first.

Thank you.
