Hi gang,
 
Why is it that when I delete a project it still shows up in the Quick Start Menu?
I notice too that if I rename a project, the old project name shows up there too.
 
Is there a way to delete projects that no longer exist or have been changed from the Recent Projects sub menu?
 
I've noticed this problem with Sonar 8.5 and X-1.

Click on it in the quick start menu, it will go away.

you can also run Ccleaner to delete temporary files left behind.
this should be done once every few weeks any way IMO

Also, send a feature request to Cake (not really a feature though). Maybe no one has told them about this.

Hi Saintom,
 
Clicking the deleted project in the sub menu only "selected it for opening".  When I clicked on the icon on the left to open the deleted project, a window says "cwp contains an incorrect path.
 
Tried CC Cleaner and made sure that the Temp Files were selected for deletion.  Didn't work either.

This has nothing to do with Sonar in particular. This is a built in FUNCTION of Windows and is present in all Windows applications which uses the standard of the Windows MENU system. This standard you will see is File (on the top left) and the 'drop down' you get 'new, open, save, save as etc.' This 'most recent list' of used files is held in a DATA TABLE which can be erased by going into the registry.
I may suggest not phuting around in the registry for something like this.
I see my Sonar keeps the most recent 8 in this 'clipboard'.
All applications will keep the newest saved file as 1, then pushes down the lists as you use more newly named or created files.
 
The issue is; why when you delete a file why Windows does not remove it off this table.
Because; it is not designed to do that.
You may find another Utility to do it or find a geeky IT person to write a script.
OR ploy your way into the Registry and figure out how to "clear the MRU LIST for Sonar"

If you want to delete a particular entry you'll find them in the registry here---->HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer\X2\Recent File List

All usual disclaimers about messing round in the registry apply but you'll have to make some serious errors to mess up your system  by deleting a string entry.

Editing the registry obviously works, but I believe this is a Sonar thing because Sonar has been designed to use this "feature" of Windows.
