Moving Preferences to New Computer -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Moving Preferences to New Computer Posted by: shauntoole Date:6/23/2008 5:48:55 PM I installed SF7 on my new computer and migrated the presets successfully from the old machine. But is there a way to transfer the preferences for the work environment to the new machine? I had set up the colors of waves, regions, and markers; toolbars; and other things about the editing environment, and would like to move all that in one fell swoop. Thanks in advance!

Subject:RE: Moving Preferences to New Computer Reply by: porkjelly Date:6/26/2008 7:44:37 AM Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to do this...at least that I'm aware of. I reformat my PC a couple of times a year and after each time, have to "reconfigure" SF9 back to my custom specs. It's a minor incovenience at most, but I do wish Sony would implement a "save customizations" feature in their next release.

Subject:RE: Moving Preferences to New Computer Reply by: fieldswn Date:9/8/2008 6:10:44 PM I'm not sure how to move all preferences, but I recently figured out how to move the presets. I hope this helps: How to Move SoundForge 8.0 Presets From One Computer to Another (1) Copy over the following directories: C:\Program Files\Sony\Sound Forge 8.0\Presets C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sony\Sound Forge\8.0\Presets (2) Export the following registry keys using regedit: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sony Media Software\Sound Forge\8.0\Presets HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DirectShow\Presets (3) If the Windows username is changing, you may need to open the resulting reg files in a text editor and do a search and replace. (4) Copy over the resulting reg files and double click on them to install them. For future reference: http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dd677gv7_47c66dhr3d&hl=en Cheers, -Bill
