Global Audio Folder not staying

Hey all,
 
So I just upgraded to X3 from 8.5, so maybe after a couple more restarts this will all fix itself, but in the process I moved my global audio folder from D:\Cakewalk Projects to G:\Cakewalk Projects. It's right there in preferences I can see that it's staying, yet when I open an old project from before made the move, it looks in D: and says it can't find the folder and prompts me to locate it.
 
Any idea if I'm doing something wrong? Is there an option somewhere I'm not seeing to force projects to check the global setting before asking me for help?
 
Thanks!

That's because it was last saved on the D drive. All you need to do is open the sonar project by clicking your CWP icon below the folder and do not open it from within Sonar. Then do a save as to your new drive.
 
Thank me

No, You just need to put them where you want them and they will be there. 
But if you are storing your audio folders separately etc you'll have a mess. 
If you have been using "per project folders"  Then you only need to move them all to the new location, Changing the file path has nothing to do with this. That only tells Sonar where to store your new stuff. 
 

Hey guys, quick followup question to this thread...
 
So if I switch to using per project audio folders... Obviously it asks you to name the project before you start... Is it possible to rename it then after? A lot of times I don't know what I'm going to do when I start you know... So I was wondering if I could either a) rename it from within Sonar which would change both project file and project folder names automatically, or b) I could just rename the project file in Windows... But I feel like that would probably cause some kind of problem with it finding the corresponding per project audio folder...
 
Thanks!

ok cool, so if I was to say just start a project with todays date as the name.... then it gets to be this big electro rock epic haha, and I hit Save As and change it to "Electro-RockEpic1" I'll get a new project file AND project audio folder called "Electro-RockEpic1" and could then just go delete the original project and audio folder I'm guessing?
 
i'll play around with it. seems like that would work.

Yea I have SO many, I think I'll just let everything pre-2014 live in that global audio folder (until I need to open something on a case by case basis)... It would literally take me the rest of my life to resave them all haha. :-)

Oh yea, I'm not using Per Project... I probably should have been for all these years, but it's a remnant of the days before Per Project Audio folders as an option that I never changed haha.

So how many files are in your Global Audio folder? It must be a lot by now!
 

Maybe move the Audio folder to D: and going forward, save your per-project folders to G:?
