Can all embroidery files in a folder be opened at the same time for comparison? Does it show size, # or stitches, # of color changes for each?

Yes, you can open/select a single design in a folder to open, multiple designs, a single folder, or even multiple folders to open. I love this version of BuzzXplore (I had an earlier version and upgraded to this one). You can see as much detail regarding stitch count, color count, etc. You can see the "Actual Size" of any design by selecting the design, right-click the mouse, and select "Actual Size." Up pops another window with the actual size of the design. You can "see" designs that are still in zipped files, can unzip files within the program, and you can convert one or many designs at once to the most common machine formats. Since I have many, many designs, I love this program!

No, its'n not but you can have the color chart on Brother embroidery thread chart. The chart is the same than Disney colors.

I checked it out for you and found that you can do whichever you choose. There's a checkbox under "advanced" on the print screen that allows you to choose one file for each page or combined

Sorry I can't answer your question but I never really used this and bought the 6D Embroidery software.

Sorry to say, I don't know. I use another program, Designers Gallery to convert files from hus, pcs, vip, sew,jef,exp, dst into pes files and then use brother design to expand, change, modify etc.

Most embroidery design cds are multi format for the different sewing companys. Janome uses a xxxx.jef file format. See this link for more details. http://janome.com/contentassets/0e240947517041e6bcd5423fca4020c4/transferring-designs-to-usb-stick-or-ata-card-no-software1.pdf

The machine does not operate hooked up to a computer. You load any new embroidery patterns (any that did not come with the machine) from a USB memory stick so your operating system is irrelevant. You would download embroidery patterns onto a memory stick and then plug the memory stick into the embroidery machine. The only time your operating system would be relevant was if you purchased software to make your own embroidery patterns. Hope this helps.

My experience has been that it reads everything. The only "issues" are if the file is so old that it was written in some fashion no longer supported by your operating system. This is generally only for applications; at this point, I have had no problems opening any MS-Office files.Craig

Yes!! You can customize all of the details of your patterns!! All the way from the type of stitches stitches (can choose to not do any 1/2 or 1/4 stitches, and also can select if you want backstitching), you choose the size, tell it which size fabric you are using, and can also customize to the amount of colors you want to work with... I work on large projects always and this program is perfect for me making my own patterns!!

Embird can split an embroidery design in several ways. It will split according to hoop size. It will split bt stitches if you have a dense design and a stitch limit on your machine; it also split by colour. You can choose to split a design manually or automatically. Manually is always the best but there is a bit of a learning curve. Embird is brilliant and NO machine has the editing capabilities of this software, that is why most people use the various types of software.

This software creates 2 types of files: DST and PPL. If your machine can read one of those, or you can convert from them to ART, then this may be helpful. My machine uses PES files. I can create new designs, or add to / delete from existing designs with this software, but I haven't figured out how to import a picture and create a pattern from it yet. I think the lines have to be redrawn, and I'm not good at that yet.

Yes, it should open any old Corel files...I've been using Corel Draw since 1989...(v1.0!), and still have almost all of my disks, and sometimes dig then out to access old clip art. IF the OPEN COMMAND doesn't work, you may be able to get to it by using the IMPORT option. We are teaching my youngest the basics of Corel now.
