BUG: SF9.0e obliterates Regions List on Save As... -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:BUG: SF9.0e obliterates Regions List on Save As... Posted by: MediaMasher Date:5/16/2008 4:45:57 PM Topic says it all. To reproduce: 1. Create a new file. Put some audio in it (silence, whatever). 2. Put some markers or regions in it. 3. Save As... Voila! Your regions/markers are gone! (Whether or not you want to spend an hour regioning out a drum file before doing this or not is optional.) 9.0e build 441

Does it default to off or on? "Off" would seem kind of cruel considering I probably deal with that checkbox about once per Windows install. I don't recall if I changed it or not. I .......... click stuff, sometimes.

A few other defaults that i always flip the other way 'round are: - Open default workspace on startup - turn it off. This is such a time waster it borders on ridiculous. If i want to open up the last project i double-click on it, and that launches Sound Forge for me. - Automatically reopen the file after Save AS - turn it off. If you've made some mistake such as forgetting to save metadata, this function loses everything irrevocably. - Prompt to open new file after Save As - turn it off. Just another whiny popup that i always answer no to every time, so why bother? - Enable Windows XP Theme support - turn it off. Theme support is the culprit behind many annoying little display problems. They all disappear when this is turned off.

Make sure, when saving you have
"save metadata with file" selected (near bottom of window).
