Thanks for this rraud - its non of my business but what has been broken in this build? Anything?

At the top of my annoyance list was the 'disappearing file menu'. There were some bugs in the 'new' batch converter and others I cannot recall off-hand. The file menu issue has been fixed and 'most' or the batch convert bugs.

notice this version...no longer need to check box:

Always proxy compressed formats

auto trim/crop....saves are okay, no gaps

I'm still on Sound Forge Pro 15 (build 27). When I attempt to update the program, it tells me that I am using the latest version. Strange.

Maybe the updater app was not installed, which is a minor installation preference.
If you would like to install the update (build 45), download it from the "Magix Service Center> My Products" and install it over-the top-of the existing build. Your previous custom settings and such should remain.

I'm on SF 15, build 45. I have had trouble utilizing metadata editing in Batch Converter - I populate the data I need then hit run job and it acts like it's doing something but it isn't. Had the same problem in 14 but I deleted the batch converter dlls and copied the ones from SF 12 over. Can't do that with the new build of 15. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
