In one case will the form be filled out automatically. The program fills out the form for the Tool itself and then only:

1. when the "Update registry" option is enabled and
2. the entry for the tool does not already exist and
3. the "Add this Tool to SONAR" button is clicked.

 
The Name field and the Menu Text are required but are normally blank.The name field is the name of the registry entry. The menu text is what appears in the SONAR menu. I am guessing you overwrote the Tool Editor Exe Path with the Audacity Exe Path.
 
Also the default for the program is not to change the registry directly but create .reg files.
 
You may want to start over.
Make sure "Update Registry" is set to Yes
Delete the Tool Editor entry
Create a new entry for Audacity
Create a new Tool Editor entry (if you want one).

Coolio! Thanks!

I think this is what happened:
 
After setting "Update registry" to yes you
clicked on "Add this Tool to SONAR" then
clicked the browse button to right of Exe Path and
added the path for Audacity then
clicked Submit
 
At least that is one scenario which would cause the Tool Editor entry to launch Audacity.
Clicking "Add this Toll to SONAR" button only fills the form for review. The Submit button must be clicked to actually update the registry.

Yup.
You may have a career in forensics! Or at least Sonar forensics....
 
Now it's working too good. It opens the selected track, but then tries to open another window and returns a Region error. I close it and everything seems ok with the "good" window, just that extra bit is a little odd.

 If you did this tweak in previous versions of Sonar it is carried over when you install the new version.
BTW why can this be put back in Sonar without an external tweak.  Most of the other DAWs have this function.

Thanks scook!

This should be a handy util!

Edit the Audadicty entry and set "Region Flag" to No

Feel free to make a Feature Request. In the interim, I believe this tool should work.

It sounds like there is a requirement from other software to create some sort of a registry entry

I've been trying to add Cool Edit 2000 (Yes, it's old but it works fine) to my Sonar X3.  I've tried several times with no success.  Maybe I just don't know how to run the menu editing program by Scook.  I know I've done it successfully before on an older Win 7 64bit system.  I'm now running Win 7 Pro 64bit on a new PC.
 
I've tried running the menu editor normally and as administrator (even though I'm logged in as an administrator).
 
Here's what the program interface looks like:
 
<Ooops - had to edit out the image - it came thru as data, not an image>
 
It filled out the info about Cool Edit.  What buttons do I click to make it work?
Does it make a difference if X3 is running or not when trying to add an editor to the Utilities menu?
 
Thanks,
Larry
