[ddots-l] Sound Forge 13: A Warning!

Hi.

For awhile, Sound Forge 13 was quite stable on this Windows 10 machine running Jaws. A recent update caused things to return to a very unreliable state, similar to how Sound Forge 12 behaved. Doing a periodic save, save as, etc. causes the program to crash. Relaunching the program, I get the dialog stating that the last session ended prematurely and to click Recover. I do so, and get another error that the file cannot be found or opened.

Here's the really bad part. I then search my hard drive for the wav file I was working on, and it's gone! Poof! It's not where it was saved, it's not in the Recycle Bin, and it's not in any of the temporary files in Sound Forge's temporary work folder.

So, if you're currently running SF 13 build 96, my advice is to stay there, and ignore the message asking you to update to build 100.

Chris
