1. set Update Registry to Yes
2. set Name to "Cool Edit" (this is the name of the registry entry)
3. Click Exe Path Browse button and find the Cool Edit program or type in the fully qualified path of the program
4. set Menu Name to "&Cool Edit" (this is the name shown in the menu, the ampersand is optional and sets the accelerator key for the menu item.

 
The Utilities menu is created when SONAR is started. Changes to the registry will not be picked when SONAR is started again.

I must have the wrong version of the menu editor.  Hmmmm......
I'll go find a new version.

That is not my tool. It never looked like that. If that is the old SONAR Utils program, it is not 64bit compatible.

Sorrry for the confusion.  I've got your now and will try it immediately!
 

FYI, Duckbar has full featured Utilities Menu Editor, too. :)

There are still copies of wave files made in the background, it is all handled automatically. Ultimately if the changes are committed in the external program, the changed wave is added back to the SONAR project.

Thanks scook for this utility.  I just tried it with Audition 3.0 and it works fine.
 
When, after editing a region of a wav clip within Audition, and close the Audition window, Audition says :
 

Current audio file not saved. Save changes to
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\Temp\Tool copy 1 of
TEX003.7 (7).wav?

 
Question 1 :  Is there a way to specify another folder for temporary files for this usage ?  I don't know who picked this Temp folder and I would prefer a temp folder somewhere other than on my almost full SSD.
 
If I say "no" to Audition, no changes are made to the project's audio files.  If I say "yes", a wav file is created within the project's audio folder with the name "Tool copy 1 of TEX003_7 (15).wav".  [nice that a copy is made automatically]
 
Question 2 :  Is the string "Tool copy n ..." created by Sonar and is it changeable to something more meaningful like "Audition copy n ..." so I have an idea of who was responsible for the copy ?
 
Thanks.
 

Pretty sure SONAR. like most Windows programs uses the temporary folder defined by Windows. Here is a thread on another forum about redefining the temporary folder http://forums.overclockersclub.com/topic/184591-tutorial-moving-the-windows-7-temp-file-locations/.
 
I have not seen any other program use the names SONAR creates for the temporary waves. That said, there is no way in SONAR to alter the names of the temporary files.
 

Nice one Scook :-)

Scook that's amazing, massive thanks.
 
I had tried every method described to get soundforge showing and I just gave up years ago as none of them
did it for me and now in just a few seconds it's there in the list.
 
Top man!!
