some feature suggestions

[ivosight]

Hi,

I installed 2.1.4.2 and tested the worspaces, it seems that something is still not right.

After installing I did the following:

-Used half an hour to organize my workspace in Audio File editing view
-Clicked "update workspace" to save my edits into the chosen custom worspace
-To be cautious, I also saved my edited workspace as a new one using "save as new workspace"
-After saving the backup I selected (loaded) my primary workspace again, just to see that all my edits were gone again, none of them were were there. Selecting my backup workspace now loads all the edits I did, but choosing the original one loads just one that is close to default one and without any of my custom edits.

I'm happy that I saved a backup workspace so I didn't lose all my edits, but at this point it feels too uncertain to use the software for proper work, as you can't be sure if your workspace settings are saved or not or lost at some point.

I think I encountered this same problem a long a go (like years ago) and was wondering where did my edits go. After losing my custom settings I guess I got frustrated and didn't use the software for a while. I think fixing this would be pretty important, because if you lose your custom interface settings randomly, you're not probably going to edit everything again and again to get back to using the software.

Is there a way to manually save and backup your workspace setting files somehow? So you wouldn't lose them altogether when something like this happens.

Cheers, I hope you can find the root cause of this.

Hi,

Thank you for your report.

We have found the bug that caused the problem. Each workspace in Soundop has two states: current state and default state. When performing Update Workspace, Soundop will update the default state. When performing Save as New Workspace, Soundop has not updated the current state of the original workspace. We have released a new version to fix the bug. Please check it out.

Soundop saves workspace settings at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Ivosight\Soundop\Workspace in the Windows registry. You can back up and restore workspaces by exporting and importing the registry.

Please feel free to contact us if you encounter any problems while using Soundop.

Thank you.
Best regards.
