Transferring routes from iPad to PC Skydemon

I need some help. I have downloaded the latest version of the SkyDemon app for iPad.

Having created a short route and I have saved it, then used the e-mail function to send to my PC via Outlook.

I receive two files, a .flightplan and a .txt file both of which I copied to my SkyDemon folder c:\documents\skydemon\routes.

I open SkyDemon on my PC and find the route I have just saved and click to open , but nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?

Continuing my voyage of discovery with my new iPad, I find that this e-mailing of routes has some interesting limitations, for me at least.
  1. If you attach more than one route file to your e-mail SD will only open the first one.
  2. My mail client (Thunderbird) sends the file as in-line text rather than as an attachment, which is useless. I have to use webmail to send the attachment. This is obviously an issue with my mail client rather than with SD. It may be that I really ought to update my very old version of Thunderbird!
Soon, very soon, I shall have to take this beast flying!
