Thank you for the awesome updates again! Here are some findings:
For some reason, I seem to still get that snapping sound when starting playback in Audio File editor.
For using monitoring FX, it would be convenient if that specific effect chain would not be reset every time Soundop is restarted, but would rather retain it's state as a global setting. This is the default behaviour for Reaper for example. The logic for this is that monitoring FX are not used based on file or "session", but as a more permanent setting for all your editing and listening. It compensates for your listening environment, which usually does not change based on the material you are working on. So monitoring FX chain should need modification only when you actually change your monitoring devices (headphones, speaker setting etc.). If you have to load this chain every time you start using the software, it perhaps beats the purpose.
One thing I started to wonder is if it's possible that Soundop resets panel and/or toolbar button settings when installing new versions of software? I remember going through all the toolbar buttons at some point and hiding everything I don't want to see, as well as organizing panels to my liking. For some reason my toolbar has now included all the buttons again and many panels are not shown. I believe I saved a workspace for Audio File editing after these changes, but loading it does not bring the panels back.
What I also find confusing is that if I make changes to panel settings or toolbar buttons and click "update workspace", at first it seems that I can then switch between saved workspaces normally. However if I modify the buttons and visibility of panels, while a certain worspace is selected, I can no longer recall that workspace to the state it was saved earlier. It seems like once a worspace is selected, all the edits you do to your buttons and panels, are saved in it already, without the "update workspace" command. And when you try to recall the previously saved state, it does nothing (as perhaps the modified state is already saved to this workspace?). I wonder if this behavior is connected to how I think I have lost my workspace settings: If software is upgraded while a certain workspace is selected, and some default panel and button settings are then forced on first startup of new software version, the previously selected worspace might get modified and lost therefore?
Sorry for the vague explanation, this is something I remember I have been wondering before as well. It's hard to exactly pinpoint what happens, when you just realize some day that for some reason you can't recall your edited workspace anymore the way you remember using it.
EDIT: I tested this workspace problem by first installing an older version of Soundop, saving some worspace settings and then upgrading the software version. And yes settings for that selected worspace are deleted when you upgrade software. So you lose your workspace when upgrading.
