2 Track Folders Keep Revert to Default Colors and Hidden Buses Keep Un-hiding

Hi forum members,
 
A couple of things I've noticed occurring with the last update. 2 of my track folders have a specific color I use for them...purple for rhythm and green for bass. Now each project I open, they revert back to default colors. I again reset them, save the project and next time I open the same project, back to default. All the other folder's colors remain as I have selected them. It's no biggie, I'm just curious as to why. Do you think they may have become corrupted in some way? I've noticed this with other projects. I use a project as a template for future projects, so I typically save the current song under a new project name, delete the song and start with a new song. This way, I can use all my buses/FX/synths etc, without having to reload them. 
 
The other thing...when I hide say, preview and metronome - and even another bus I'm not using for the current project, when I re-load the project, they're back. Again, no biggie, but I'm wondering as to why they keep coming back, once I've saved the project with them hidden? 
 
Thanks

    I noticed this with the track folders. The contents are keeping there colours, but the folders lose them.
    I never hide busses, so haven't seen that.

    I noticed it on a something I set at the weekend. I had re-set it last night, so checked when I saw your post. It had gone again.

    You may want to check that you don't have a screenset or a lens saved that when you open the project it is getting applied and "un-hiding" your buses.

    I've a lens set up for my meters...didn't know it un-hides what I've hidden. I didn't notice it doing that previous to this latest update. I check it out...thanks.

    In mercury, you have both the coloured end marker, and it's the only theme to have the coloured strip. 
     
    I noticed that when I open the project, the folders loose their colours, but if I change themes, they return. Which is odd, as it's not a theme setting, its a project. So I tried several times, and changing the theme returns the colour.
     
    When I set it to Mercury, closed and re-opened. It still looses the coloured end marker for the folder, but it keeps the strip colour for the folder. Changing to Tungsten, returns the folder end marker colour, and returning to Mercury, both end marker and strip colour work.
     
    So it's not loosing the colour, it's just not applying it on opening.

    So, Open int Tungsten, the folder strips are coloured, the end is not. The Track strips are coloured and so are the end markers.

     
    Change Theme to Tungsten, and the end markers of the folders are now coloured.
     

     
    Change back to Tungsten and the Markers are there.
     

     
    Close the project and open this time in Tungsten, and the Folder end markers are gone again (until I change the theme)

    Hid settings seem to be being saved with the lens. Just hide some busses, saved the project and reopened. Busses were hdden. repeated but saved the lens, and when it opened, they were hidden.
     
    I repeated with un-hidding the busses too, and it was the same.
     
    Funny it's saved with the lenses, I still don't fully get them.

    Okay, thanks for that. I guess it's a bug, as there is repeatedly one track - the same each time - that doesn't show the colour header. Perhaps that folder has become corrupted? 
    I've tried saving the lens for the project after hiding the buses. I'll report back if it's worked.

    I don't think the folder is corrupted, because it still knows it's colour. But Sonar isn't picking it up for some reason when it opens.
     
    Definitely a bug

    Another workaround to changing themes to restore the Folder Colours it just to click on it to open the colours dialog box and close the box without making a selection. It then remembers what it should be set too,
     
    One of my folders wasn't responding to this. It's latest folder in the project. remembering that I had  saved the scene earlier, and without a colour selection being set to this folder. I tried again saving the scene after setting the folder colour. And now the folder behaves like the other. Opens without a colour, but can be recalled by changing the theme, or opening and closeing the colour dialog box and not making a selection.
     
    Seems Scenes is connected to this.
