Hey sound font users out there...
I've been living with a nagging thing but finally I've remembered my annoyance with it long enough to sit down here and post this question...
When I go to the Tools/Sound Fonts menu, and the dialog box first opens, it is always pointing to the SONAR root directory, that is, C
rogram FilesSONAR 1.0. Now there's this button called Locations that opens another dialog box that allows you to list directories where SONAR is supposed to find soundfonts. In there I have put the name of the directory where I actually have my sound fonts, namely C:soundfonts. Now presumably this means that if I open a WRK file that used sounds from a particular soundfont, and that soundfont was not in the same directory with the WRK file, it would look in any directories in this path before giving up and failing to load the unfound sound font file. OK, fine... but what I want to do is be in this directory by default when I open the dialog box. That is, I want it to act like the other directories that you can set up from Options/Global/Folders. However, Sound Fonts is not one of the folders you can set it this dialog box.
Does anyone know a way to do this? Perhaps one can edit an INI file or something? It is really annoying, when I start a new project, to have to click my way up out of Crogram FilesSONAR 1.0 and into C:soundfonts. Failing that, if I created myself a template called "Project with Fav Sound Fonts" or something, could I open a New file based on it that already had at least some preordained collection of Sound Font files pre-loaded?
Thanks, all...
