Importing layered files from another Motion project

Importing layered files from another Motion project was created by rleiman
Greeting everyone,
I'm using Motion 5.6.1 and a tutorial book that's guiding me with the software, but the book was written using an old version of Motion. I'm at the point in the tutorial where they have me use the File Browser to import a .molo file but there is not File Browser so I tried to do it with the Import button. The issue now is the .molo file is disabled so I can't import it into my project. Is there a way to get this file enabled so I can complete the import?
Thanks.
Truly,
Emad

have you tried droping it ?
or create a .molo file in the updated project, see where it resides on the hard drive and copy there you old molo filer ?

Thanks so much. That video is so helpful! I think everyone needs to get together and send Apple emails asking them to restore the file browser so all of us don't need to do the additional steps now required to accomplish what was easy when the file browser was available. 🤔

Thanks for the reply, but yes I tried dragging it from finder and it wouldn't let me drop the file like it let's me do with .png etc files.
