I'm not somewhere that I can check this right now.

Could you tell me what specifically that you are seeing so that when I get in on Monday I can take a look for you?

When I fill in Properties> Summery info, (Title, Artist, Engineer, ect.) then attempt to save that info as a new Summery default: Extended> Default> Change> Yes> OK. All the Summery info boxes are cleared. (blank.)
This worked normal before the 9.0d update.
Thanks for looking into this.

No repro here. Are you using a new file or an existing file? If an existing file, what is it? Are they going blank as soon as you OK the Default dialog or later? Note that you have to OK the root dialog if you want to change the fields on the current file.

Any other steps we are missing?

Assuming that is not the issue, does "FORGE.INI" exist in the install directory and do you have write privileges to it? (Heh, the .ini gives you an idea of how little this code has changed over the years...)

As a last resort, you can add/edit entries in the .ini file manually like so:

[Default Details]
IARL=1,
IART=1,artist here
ICMS=1,
ICMT=1,comment here
ICOP=1,copyright here
ICRD=1,2008-01-30
ICRP=1,
IDIM=1,
IDPI=1,
IENG=1,engineer here
IGNR=1,
IKEY=1,
ILGT=1,
IMED=1,
INAM=1,title here
IPLT=1,
IPRD=1,
ISBJ=1,
ISHP=1,
ISRC=1,
ISRF=1,
ITCH=1,
DISP=1,
TLEN=1,
TRCK=1,
TURL=1,
TVER=1,
LOCA=1,
TORG=1,

I checked out the "Forge.ini" file and all [Default Details] list entries had "O" instead of "1" (Ex: IENG=0,)
Which led me to the Extended Summery fields list, none of which were check-marked. I check marked the fields I wanted and all is well.
I failed to notice the check box list Duh!
Thanks J. for pointing me in the right direction.
