PK Files

[Bert]

More questions.
What is a PK file which gets created every time I open any wave forms?
Is it essential and if not how do I get rid of them?
I have unchecked the non-audio information save button but to no avail.
It does it even if there is no copyright, author etc in the info area.
Thanks again
Bert

These are peak files (PK) that the program uses as 'cached' files to load the tracks faster. If you delete them they will just get recreated. And you will see a speed difference when it is doin it. So just leave them, they will help the program load yer projects faster. They are displosable however...... your option.

The non-audio option will not get tid of them. That is for exactly that, non audio info, like the copywrite, date who you are....yadda yadda yadda..... And don't use that unless it's the last thing in yer project as it will add a tiny length to yer wav files.... plays havoc with loops n stuff.

That help? Good luck

Sultan's right about the PK files. If you want to test it, make a copy of something you've done, and then delete the PK file(s) in that copy. Then load the copy, and watch how long it takes, compared to loading the original file which still has its PK file.

Sultan, I thought PK stood for Pretty Kwik...
