Nice job on the update. Everything seems to work as it
should. Much faster than the previous version. Thanks.

WhooHoo! the .sfk files are no longer hangin' around!

Ted: if you're in a position to do so, please thank everyone involved on that one!:-)

Question - You state that SF will automatically delete the .sfk files for temporary files.
What's considered a temp file?
Iv'e tried just opening and closing a file, no .sfk,
Opening, working on, and using "save as", no .sfk,
Opening, working on, and saving, no .sfk.

That's just what I was hoping for, but I don't understand what kind of file they will be saved for.

Once again, thanks for the quick update!!

Using this URL:
http://www.sonicfoundry.com/download/step2.asp?DID=301

... I get a page saying "What's New in Sound Forge 5.0b",
but only offering v5.0 build 117 for download!!!

I made a screenshot of that page. You can see it here:
http://www.timoheil.de/sf5.gif

I cannot find 5.0b anywhere on your website.

The "Latest Sound Forge Updates" link from within
SoundForge leads me to the downloads/updates section, but
there's only: "Sound Forge Update 4.0e" and "Sound Forge
Update 4.5h".

P.S.: I emptied my cache and tried it with three different
ISPs. Always the same (negative) result.

Maybe they found a problem with it, and removed it. It was there last night. I downloaded and installed. Haven't
found anything wrong with it yet, but was going to do some real testing of it today.

One thing that really bugged me was it didn't retain the way my screen was setup, or any of my preferences. I
had to spend 30 min. just going through everything and re-setting up.

We had to temporarily pull the file to fix the preferences
issue that you mention. The update will be back on the
site as soon as that problem is taken care of.

Beep,
It was the preferences problem that made us decide to
take down the update, improve it and get you another
one.... should be ready in a couple of days.

Thanks for downloading the update! Glad to hear of
your interest in the product.

The new 5.0b version seems to solve the problem. Thanks to
Sonic Foundry for the fast solution, I was amazed. I guess
you just have left to implement these improvements to the
beta version of Acid 3.

So, now that you've re-posted the update. Other than the "preferences" thing we know you fixed. Was there
anything else fixed? No matter how minor! :-) I just want to make sure that there's no point in downloading it
again!:-D

I just downloaded 5.0b build 162 and it still has a major
problem with processing edits. The undo bug appears
remedied, but once the progress meter reaches 100 percent
the system stalls. It does the same loading a new file.

I have compared the edit process times with 4.5 and 5.0 is
WAY slower. An edit that took 6 seconds in 4.5 takes 16
in 5.0...this includes the stalled time at the end of the
process, but apparently the process time counter is still
running while the system is stalled.

SF usually seems to have a great product....cant understand
how this one got released with such an obvious bug

You guys still have a major bug in 5.0 ! Though the undo
stalling problem appears fixed, the system still stalls
once the progress meter reached 100%. An edit that takes
6 seconds in 4.5 takes 16 in 5.0 !!! What is the deal ??

Thanks

Ted,

I just downloaded 5.0b and there still appears to be a
problem with editing. Though the undo doesnt stall anymore,
when the progess meter reaches 100 percent, the systems
stalls. An edit that takes 6 seconds in 4.5 takes 16 in
5.0 !! What gives ??

I was unable to reproduce this on my Windows 2000 machine.
Assuming that you are using a supported OS (Windows 98SE,
2000, or ME), you would probably want to start by
uninstalling and then reinstalling the program, and
possibly updating the drivers for your video card. If this
does not work, please contact tech support via telephone on
the 60 day complimentary support line, or via e-mail.

I was having a very similar problem... I changed the refresh rate of my monitor from 85KHz to 75KHz and
the change was incredible!!

The only thing that what fixed was the preferences issue.
There is no other reason to download it again.

Thanks...

I am using Win98se....is there some reason for having to
update the video drivers ??? I have installed the program
several times (original download, update, etc)

Update the video driver with what ???

Sorry to be stupid about this, but I wouldnt think going
from 4.5 to 5.0 would necessitate such a change

Does this 5.0b update include "disk-at-once" feature? It
would be excellent to have that option in this program
updated from "track-at-once". Or is disk-at-once planned
for 6.0?

thanks

No, there is no disc at once in the update. I don't think
anybody has even started thinking about Sound Forge 6.0
yet, so I couldn't even begin to speculate about the
features.

I hope you're joking. You really know how to fill your
customers with confidence.

What I meant was that version 5.0 was just released, so I
don't think that anybody wants to dive into version 6.0
right away. Sorry if I was confusing.
