Recent files question
When I am into a serious mixing project, for safety I "Save as" the project with a sequential name, songv1, songv2 etc. Then I work on the newest version. (Sonar Platinum)
Occasionally Sonar crashes. It happens. Whether its about the plug ins or the phase of the moon, sometimes it crashes and I have to reload the project. Normally not a big deal.
... not a big deal as long as I remember that I had been working on a slightly newer version. But if I happen to forget, and simply go to the recent file list, and choose the top version... well, that top version is the prior version. This is because, apparently, sonar doesn't save the file of the most recent version to the file list until it is properly shut down. (Doing a SAVE does not add it to the list. Sonar has to be properly shut down). But , if there is a crash... well.. teh file name is never saved.
So if I forget, and just choose the latest file on the recent files list, I end up working on the prior version until I realize why something I had just changed wasn't changed!
Short of closing out and reopening sonar file after any SAVE AS operation, any one have a work around for this?
By the way, its been like this since I started with Sonar X1.
As I said I have platinum, and I run with the start screen off. (So much faster, cleaner, and direct to the point for the kind of mixing I do... usually single songs sequentially.)
This is not a critical flaw. But I just let it happen again and felt I'd sure like not to have to deal with this.
Ideas?
