Right sorry I forgot to acknowledge what you said earlier silly me.

I'm not arguing anything!!! Only the developers know if it's a bug or whether it's following a defined set of rules in a way they expect, but which has an unintended consequence in terms of what you expect. That's all I'm saying. You'll notice I have not said it's a bug or it's not a bug, yet you keep acting like I'm arguing with you that it's not a bug.

And personally I'm SOOOO done with workarounds :)

Then you go fix the code. Personally, I can't.
 
And personally, I'm not done trying to help fellow musicians. In this forum, that's fellow SONAR users.
 
I came here to save time for williamcopper, not have you attempt to bait me into an argument that I have no desire to make, and in which I have no interest.

Your solution is to lodge a bug report (assuming it's a bug) with the Bakers, and wait for it to come out of the queue.
 
My solution is to research the issue and try and help williamcopper with his immediate need.

very hard to believe OP has lost many many hours because of this. A quick solution has been given. Why would you not use it? no need to make a big arthur miller play out of it :)

it is a solution, it stops the "problem/bug" from happening. 

obviously it is very important to u alex, where did you previously report it?

i dont think it's a bug. sorry. good luck on your quest :)

sorry alex, it's just too annoying for me. have a good crusade.

Are they biting tonight?

Actually I gave a response to that, of course it is just speculation on my part. It makes sense to me that when you make a selection and bounce or whatever to an existing track ,you already have a destination in place. When you make a selection and then try to insert the destination track Sonar has no way of knowing that you didn't just change your mind and are now going to record another vocal. guitar, or whatever on the new track. The logical thing to do would be have a destination track in place before making a selection and doing a bounce.

Thankyou for engaging. Will respond but need sleep!

ot, but this forum has become like a bar room that invariably ends in a brawl every night

Basically all I am saying is that you should have your new track in place before you make your selection and do your bounce. I think it makes sense logically to create the placeholder for the bounce before you do it, not after. If you were going to pick a bunch of berries off a bush would you pick them and then go get a pail or would you have a pail to put them in as you pick them?

So I read this but not fully understanding.

Current behaviour I see is:
1) New project blank template
2) Drag audio into the track view from browser 3 times creating three new tracks with audio.
3) On the time ruler mark a selection (by dragging your mouse over it).
4) Insert track
 
Expected
 
Track is inserted.
 
Actual
 
a) Track is inserted.
b) Selection on time ruler (made on step 3) is reset.

So how does (b) make any difference to bouncing, track destinations etc?
 
Cheers..

The OP only wants to bounce/export the time range he has selected... so yes, IF one had absolutely no other options available to him to make that happen it would be a problem but as shown in this thread there are a ton of extremely simple ways to make it happen.
 
Really the ONLY "problem" presented here is the fact that when bouncing to track (without inserting a new track but instead allowing Sonar to bounce to a NEW track that is created automatically which does NOT get rid of the range selection according the OP) is that the clip will be named the generic new track name (so something like Track 12 or whatever instead of if the track were named manually by the user to something like Export 1 which would then of course be reflected in the resulting clip's name/wave file).
 
Seriously, based on ALL the "evidence" posted by the OP (which we had to pry out of him) the ONLY problem is that bouncing to the new track (which solves this entire "issue" completely) is that bouncing to a NEW track doesn't name the clip how he likes.
 
So despite the fact he could avoid this in the MANY ways presented here the only annoyance incurred by this so called "bug" is that OP has to rename his clip/wave in the Inspector or the Browser... which takes about five seconds or less.

Beeps, have you tried working with 100s of bounced files in the project folder with the auto generated names?
I can totally see the OPs point. Not being able to see his point, and dissing the OP is NOT helpful to anyone.
But, as you said, you are not feeling very well today, so you get a pass. Maybe it's time for a chill pill.
