Subject:Markers are gone after I save and reopen

I record a file. I place markers during the recording. I save the file and close it. I open the file and all the markers are gone! I have tested this more than once now and this keeps happening. I have not had this problem in the past until recently.

I would really like to know what to do because I need to have those markers in place to know where to break it up when I later open the file!

Please help, thank you.

Also, I'm using Sound Forge 8.0d (build 128). I have not had this problem until recently and I have no idea why this could be.

FIXED! I don't know I guess I may have accidentally bumped something in the save window. All I needed to do was recheck "save metadata with file" !!! Fixed! I'm very happy.

I'm using Sound Forge 10a and I just noticed that if open a file, mark it up and save it with a different filename, the markers instantly disappear. Is this a known bug or should I raise it with Tech Support?

Thanks,
Walt

Are you absolutely sure you have the "Save metadata with file" check-marked in the Save/Save as prompt window.
Some file types other than WAVE cannot save that metadata.
To be alerted of this happenstance, check-mark the box in: Options> Preference> General> "Warn if metadata cannot be saved in the file"

Doh! Thanks, guys. I actually didn't know markers were considered metadata. Last version of SF I had was 8.0 (before that 7.0, 5.0 and 4.5) and I never had this problem so I presume the metadata checkbox was always checked in those versions.

Anyway, thanks a mill.
