SoundForge Pro Suite 14 build65 on latest Win10 Pro - two inquiries..

1) When using the Batch Converter, when I open an existing audio file (ie. wav) or select a Folder where a bunch of wav files are located, if I try to use one of the new or one of my older VST / FX modules like the new FX Favourites\Analog Modelling Suite\AM-Munition1 that comes with the Pro Suite it will fail to apply the FX with an error "The file could not be opened. Make sure the file exists and that you have access to the file/folder." Other default Effects (ie. Graphic Fade) work fine HOWEVER if I simply load the same wav file into the Pro Suite then merely go to FX Favourites\Analog Modelling Suite\AM-Munition1 and select a Preset and click OK it then applies the FX fine. I have noticed that the Preset column does not get populated in the Batch Converter when I select one from such new FX modules like Analog Modelling Suite\AM-Munition1 BUT for default effect modules like, as mentioned, Graphic Fade, it populates the Preset section of the Batch Converter when I select one. Any ideas what is going on here? Some sort of Permission issue? I gave full r/w permissions to most areas related to Sound Forge and its VSTs. I never had this issue with previous versions (came from v11 actually).

2) Something that has bothering me for years... Under the Extract Regions option is there a way in the File Name Prefix section to remove that "_" after the loaded filename? So instead of it always showing "NewWave1_" is it possible to show "NewWave1" ? Its that "_" at the end of the filename I need removed for my automation process to be more seamless.

Thank you so very much MAGIX Team!

There are marker and region naming options in "Options> Preferences> Labels"

I have no idea why the Analog Modelling Suite does work in batch mode whilst other plug-ins do.
Contact Magix Tech support.

Preferences/Labels do not effect File Name Prefix section under Extract Regions unless when you make a change in Labels, open a sound file, highly an area, hit "R" then go to Extract Regions does it show no "_" beside the pre-generated name under File Name Prefix?

Also, the Batch Processor is only impacted by VST2 and VST3 labelled modules whether they came with the Suite OR are external VSTs products but does not impact native options. :( I had to go back to my older SoundForge 11 for now as I am real disappointed such a basic automation feature is not working in 14.x.

Thank you for your help btw! I really need to figure this out!

Thank you Rraud.. however I think this version SoundForge Pro Suite 14 build65 has specific issues with the Batch Processor and any attached VST2/3 modules are run through it. Makes no sense to me why only modules labelled VST2 or VST3 are impacted. Likely have to wait til next build. :( Going back to much older SF versions until this is resolved going forward.
