Opening Files Into Sound Forge

sean-mccoy wrote on 9/29/2020, 9:23 PM

When I double click an audio file in Explorer, it always opens a new version of Sound Forge. I recently upgraded from 10 to 14, and this was never an issue before. How can I specify that I want files to open into an existing SF window?

@sean-mccoy

This is a "new feature" in SF!

I think this thread will give you the "reason" and solution.

That worked, thanks. That must be an accident. I can't imagine why anybody would want multiple instances to be the default.

Yes, "Single-instance" should be the default with "Multi-instance" as the secondary option, and more logically, have the setting in the general menu instead of 'hidden'.
