Well, I have CWB files opening here just fine, I actually opened one from a CD from 2002 just last night.
This being a peer to peer forum, I don't think you should expect Cakewalk to come here and address this "bug" you've found. There's lots of folks here that can help, we just need a little more info, perhaps some system specs for starters. I'm not clear on your statement "I then opened the laptop project and imported 6 new wav file into this project from then other CWB project."
Are the wave files actually corrupted, or is it just that Sonar cannot locate them now ?
If you're not using the "per project" folder feature, then the wave files should have gone into your generic "Audio Data" folder. The reason your system specs would help is that I'm wondering what type of drive you were saving the bundle files to, and how much memory your system has.
You have over 1000 posts! You know how this forum works! lol If Cakewalk thought I was wrong I would have heard from them here for all the world to see! OR at the least a Scook! Silence in this forum means they all know and have nothing helpful or relevant to say! lol Unlike you who posted as unreverent. You haven't even had this problem so you have no reference help to offer to resolve it!
If you read other posts you will see that this is a well known bug and has been for a long time!
Unreverent is not a word, if you mean irreverent, then no disrespect was meant towards you.
If I were irreverent, then I would certainly not be here trying to help you.
I tested using the following instructions from the Cakewalk manual and could not reproduce what you're finding, based on your saying you don't use per-project audio folders. Again, not trying to prove you wrong, I'm just wondering if you're using Cakewalk Bundle files in a way that was never intended to be used, or simply will not work. (in that case then maybe the manual needs to be updated ?)
When opening a Cakewalk Bundle file, SONAR will “unpack” the embedded audio data and save it to a new audio folder on your computer. To unpack a bundle file
1. Choose File > Open to display the Open dialog box.
2. Choose a file with a .cwb extension.
3. Click Open.
If you have the Use Per-project Audio Folders option enabled in Edit > Preferences > File - Audio Data,
the Unpack Bundle dialog box appears. If this option is not enabled, the bundle file opens and all audio data
is stored in the Global Audio Folder.
4. If you want to store the project in its own folder do the following in the Unpack Bundle dialog:
Enter a project filename in the Project Name field.
Use the Browse button to the right of the Location field to select a destination folder for the project, or to
create a new folder, enter a new folder pathname in the Location field.
Use the Browse button to the right of the Audio Path field to select a destination folder for the project’s
audio data, or to create a new folder, enter a new folder pathname in the Audio Path field.
OR
If you want to store the project in the Cakewalk Projects folder, and its audio in the Global Audio Folder, clear
the Store Project Audio in its Own Folder check box.
5. Click OK.
Consolidate Project AudioIf your project references audio from multiple folders, for example you have a
library of loops that you share between several projects, you can gather all the
audio for your project into a single folder using the Consolidate Project Audio
command. The Consolidate Project Audio command copies every audio file your
project references into a backup folder beneath the projects audio data folder.
Creating a copy of all your project’s audio may take a lot of disk space.
Allows you to create a complete backup
of all project audio even if the audio is in
multiple locations. Creates a new folder
which you can move or delete without
fear of losing the original audio files.
