I daily have to export many audioclips as WAV.
Therefore I mark all clips and choose as "Source Category" [Clips].
Unfortunately this combination cannot be saved as a preset.
When I call my saved preset, "Clips" is indeed displayd - but it does not make the job.
I have to choose "Clips" again in the "Source Category".
This should be revised.
 
 

I've found it to be sketchy about remembering file types too.

The only setting that does not "stick" in my experience is Source Hardware Outputs which always lists however many pairs are active.
 
Are you sure you've got the Clips box selected in your saved version of the preset?
Sorry if it sounds obvious but if you're re-selecting Source Category every time you select your preset, are you choosing to re-save the preset, overwriting the original?
 
I've just tried on my laptop and the settings for Source Category persists after swapping presets, and also from a reboot of Sonar.

Yes, after calling the preset the settings are correct displayed in the source category - but it doesn't work.
Although "clips" is shown, it doesn't do the job. It does not save several clips.
This is because there must stand the word "[Clips]" in the box for the file name. Calling the preset does not write [Clips] in the box.
The word [Clips] in the box represents a function or a variable.
