iOS: Import from Mail

About this task

If a .miniconfig file is sent to you as an email attachment, you can import the file into the Song Meter Configurator 's Configuration Library. Importing files sent via other means, such as a message app, a cloud storage app, or Apple AirDrop, works via a similar series of steps.

Procedure

  1. Open the iOS Mail app.
  2. Open the message containing the .miniconfig file attachment.
  3. Tap on the attachment to open a preview window. Do not tap on the Download icon, shown as a square with a downward arrow.
    In the iOS Mail app, a file attachment "Example Configuration.miniconfig" is shown below the body of an email message.

    Because the iOS Mail app cannot interpret a .miniconfig file, the body of the preview window will display a short string of nonsensical text.

  4. Tap on the Share icon, shown as a square with an upwards arrow.
    The attachment pop-up window in iOS Mail shows the name of the .miniconfig file as the title. The body of the file is a string of nonsense characters beginning with SMM. The Share button is located in the lower left.

    This opens the iOS interface for sharing files between apps.

  5. If the Song Meter app is not shown in the list of apps in the sharing interface, tap the More icon at the far-right end of the list.
    In the iOS sharing interface, the "Example Configuration" file is listed as a Text Document.

    This will bring up an Apps list.

  6. From the Apps list, tap the Song Meter app.

The Configuration file will be imported and visible in the Configuration Library.
