To make a template available on another computer or user account, copy the .sft file to the same location in another account.

For example, to make JSmith’s custom wave template available for the AJones user account in Windows XP, copy the appropriate .sft2 file from this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\JSmith\Application Data\Sony\Render Templates\wave\

to this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\AJones\Application Data\Sony\Render Templates\wave\

Tip: If you’re copying templates from an older Sony Creative Software application, templates are saved as .sft files in the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Sony\File Templates\<plug-in name>\<plug-in GUID>.

Saving all open audio files

Choosing Save All from the File menu automatically prompts you to save all open audio files on the current workspace.

Note: Pressing Shift while choosing the Save All command automatically saves all open files without prompting you to approve each save.

Saving files as a workspace

To accommodate complex editing scenarios, you can save the entire workspace as an alternative to saving individual files. Workspaces are saved as Sound Forge Workspace (.sfw) files. When you open a workspace file, all files are restored to their previous sizes, positions, and magnifications. In addition, each file’s current cursor position, custom views, and plug-ins in the Plug-In Chainer are restored. For more information, see Creating and using views on page 98 and Using the Plug-In Chainer on page 196.
