Is "Clean Audio Folder" fixed yet in Foxboro?

I have X3e and would like to know if "Clean Audio Folder" has been fixed yet.
Could anyone with Foxboro please try it out? Here's how it should work:
 
1. Open any project that has been started with "Store project audio in its own folder" set. This is the default, so any project will probably do.
2. Select from menu Utilities>Clean Audio Folder. The dialog pops up.
3. In the dialog select checkbox "Recurse (All Wave files below this point belong to SONAR projects)
4. Press Find. A warning regarding clipboard and Undo pops up. Click OK.
 
This is where the first problem happens.
In X3e the tool now searches through ABSOLUTELY EVERY DIRECTORY ON ABSOLUTELY EVERY HARD DRIVE connected to the computer.
And this despite the project directory being in the edit box, and despite the project knowing all its contents is in its own audio folder, and despite having told it to Recuse for wave files below the given point.
 
There is no way of stopping it either. Clicking on "Close" hangs Sonar.
 
When it finally finishes, it may pop up a window with damaged project files. This is interesting (they really do seem to be damaged-I find I cannot open them) but none of these files have anything to do with my current project so this behavior is unexpected.
 
The second problem is with the Play button in the dialog showing the orphaned files (most projects have such files after working on them for a while).
This "Play" button is so you can hear the clip before deciding to delete it.
But the Play button does not do anything in X3e.
 
Can anyone please check whether any of these issues been fixed in Foxboro?
 
The ability to clean up the audio folder is actually quite useful. My workaround has been to copy the entire project to a new directory, telling it to copy all audio with project, deleting the old directory, then renaming the new directory back. This achieves the same thing but it gets tiresome. It would be great if this feature worked.
 

I don't understand.
Why would a different project use sound files in my current project? Especially with "Store project audio in its own folder" being on.
And why does it look in my Recycle folder? (yes, it even searched there!!!)
And why can I not stop the searching?
And why does it hang if I click "Cancel"?
And why does the Play button not work?
 

The standard behaviour of this is crazy. It made sense back in the mid 90s, when a/ we didn't even have the per-project folders option and b/ hard drives were way, way smaller.
 
It's outdated design, and is badly in need of at least an advanced user option to just search the current project folder. By all means, have a foolproof option. But having only that is very odd.

I ran this during Everett and it behaves the same. Even funnier was I deleted files, then ran the CWAF tool and it said some files were missing from projects (ones I deleted!).

This was prior to a planned reformat, but both tools need some love.

Ain't nobody got time for that.
 
Imagine a menu command: "Clean this project". You click it. A box pops up saying "In the extremely bizarre fringe case that you've got a project on a zip drive in a drawer somewhere that references this audio, there might be a problem somewhere down the line". There are two buttons, "Cancel" and "It's fine, I don't arrange my files like a madman's breakfast, just clean the project already". You click the latter, job done.

Wow, I would never have figured this method out on my own!
 
It took some 15 minutes to scan my C drive and for the Find button to reappear.
I stupidly selected only one orphaned file, just to test.
After I pressed Move, I got the "re-scan" message without the option to continue moving files.
All dialog boxes went blank and it now compels me to do a re-scan, which will take another 15 minutes.
 
I do appreciate the information, but I think my workaround method is faster.
By the way, how the heck did you figure all of that out? I don't know if any mere mortal would even know what CWAF means.

Not fixed. Cakewalk said they will fix it a few months back when I supplied a screenshot, but would not say when it would happen (fair enough). Personally I wish they would remove it until this happens.

I forget the semantics of each, but another issue is I save multiple iterations of the same project, so even though files may be linked to a cwp in a folder, they are orphaned to the final cwp. Save as is simplest to another folder, but with HDDs being big and cheap these days I only clean up video files anymore.
