Subject:Can the history of rendered files be saved?

I'm currently finishing a project I first began to work on last fall, 2004. Because work was interrupted for several months, it now eats up a lot of my time to reconstruct which sound files originally consisted of which samples (I have to do that because some samples are not yet cleared).

Here's an example: Let's say I make up a drum loop from a kick drum sample, a snare sample and a hihat sample in Acid. I arrange these samples and then render the arrangement to a new wav file (the drumloop) that I'll use in all following versions of my project. Now wouldn't it be cool if I could open the Track Properties of the drumloop and see which sound files (samples) the drumloop was originally rendered from?

Is there a way to save such information in Acid?

Thanks for your suggestions in advance
and sorry for my English,

Zerobae

ACID doesn't have such a feature, but that would be actually kind of cool; somewhat like the "Edit Source Project" feature that the apps have now. You'd only want the info, correct?

Be sure, as always, to give SPD your thoughts on product suggestions.
